Spiders are a common add-on when people book ant removal in Sunnybank. Webs build up under eaves, across windows and around the pergola, and huntsman spiders wander inside on warm nights. Redbacks tuck themselves into dry, dark spots in sheds, under outdoor furniture and around bins. Booking spider control on the same visit as ants saves a second call-out. Daddy long-legs spiders also gather in high corners inside, especially in older homes with tall ceilings.
The crew we book treats where spiders shelter and where they build webs. Outside, that means eaves, gutters, window and door frames, pergolas, patios, fences, garages and garden sheds. Inside, they can treat corners, cornices, wardrobes and behind furniture where needed. Redback checks focus on the places children and pets might reach, such as play equipment, pot plants, letterboxes and under decks. Garages and carports often have webs in the roof corners and around the door tracks, and these get treated too.

- Sheds, garages, carports and storage areas
- Redback checks around play areas, pots and bins
- Inside corners, cornices and wardrobes on request
Old webs can be brushed down a day or two after the visit, and the treatment on surfaces keeps working on spiders that cross it later. Cutting down on other insects around lights and doors also means less food for spiders, which is one reason people pair spider control with ant and cockroach work.
