Spiders around Karalee homes tend to build webs in sheltered, undisturbed spots: under eaves, in garden sheds, behind downpipes and in garden beds close to the house, particularly on blocks backing onto the river or a patch of bushland. Huntsman spiders often move inside during cooler months looking for shelter, while redbacks favour garages, electricity boxes and stacked garden pots.
When you call, we ask where you have been seeing webs or spiders, and whether anyone in the house has been bitten, in which case we would point you to a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 rather than give advice over the phone. The crew we book treats eaves, window frames, garden beds, sheds and fence lines, and clears webs as part of the visit to Karalee properties, working around the outside of the house before checking indoors.
Garages, electricity boxes and stacked pots or firewood get particular attention, since these are common redback spots along the river, along with old boxes and garden equipment that has not been moved in a while.
