Spider Control Adelaide

Wildlife Protection
Spiders are an important part of the environment, helping to control insect populations, but they don’t belong in or around the home. Spider control must be carried out responsibly to ensure treatments are safe for families, pets, and native wildlife, delivering effective results without harming the surrounding ecosystem
Our Spider Control Process
1. Consultation & Investigation
When your Eco Pest Group technician arrives, they will first discuss any areas where you’ve seen spiders or have specific safety requirements. They’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have before the treatment begins.
2. Residual Spray Treatment
Our technician will perform a comprehensive treatment to your nominated areas such as of the interior, exterior, and roof void. The polymer chemistry residual sprays are designed to eliminate existing spiders and help prevent future infestations.
3. Debriefing
After the treatment, our technician will provide you with a summary of the service, along with follow up treatments, and re entry periods. A detailed report with images will also be sent to you via email.
4. De-Webbing
Leave any spider webs where they are for the first 4-6 weeks after your treatment. This makes the treatment more effective as the spiders using any existing webs come in contact withy the treatment. After this period, we then recommend removing the spider webs from your property.
5. Annual Treatment
We recommend a spider treatment to be carried out at least every 12 months or more frequent in areas of high activity, which will help protect your home from future spider infestations. A reminder will be sent to you when this is due.

White Tail Spider Control
White tail spiders are commonly found in Adelaide homes, particularly in:

These spiders are known for hunting other spiders and often move indoors searching for shelter and prey. White tail spiders are typically identified by their dark slender bodies and distinctive white marking near the tip of the abdomen.
Although white tail spiders are not generally considered aggressive, many Adelaide homeowners seek professional spider control due to concerns about bites and indoor spider activity as they often hide in clothes and bedding.
EcoPest Group provides targeted spider treatments designed to help reduce white tail spider activity inside homes and surrounding outdoor areas.
Black House Spider Control
Black house spiders build webs around windows, eaves, sheds and outdoor structures. Large web infestations can quickly develop if spider activity is left untreated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spiders
Are spiders common in Adelaide?
Yes. Adelaide homes and businesses commonly experience spider activity throughout the year, particularly during warmer months when insects and outdoor activity increase.
What spiders are common in Adelaide homes?
Common spiders found in Adelaide include redback spiders, huntsman spiders, black house spiders and garden orb-weaving spiders.
How often should spider treatments be completed?
Most properties benefit from professional spider treatments every 12 months, although high-activity areas may require more frequent treatments.
Are spider treatments safe for pets and children?
Professional spider treatments are applied using approved products and treatment methods designed to reduce risk to families and pets when used correctly.
Why am I still seeing spiders after treatment?
Spider activity may continue for a short period after treatment, as spiders come into contact with treated surfaces and are flushed out into the open, the residual treatment will knock down any wandering or hiding spiders once they make contact with the treated areas. Existing webs should generally be left in place temporarily to improve treatment effectiveness.
Do spider sprays work long term?
Residual spider treatments can provide long-lasting protection and will generally last a pest season once the spider’s life cycle has been broken. In high-pressure areas, booster treatments may be recommended to reduce future infestations.
Generally, we recommend a spider treatment annually.
