Spiders

At Pestify, we recognise the importance of balancing the ecological role of spiders with the comfort and safety of your space. Our expert services can ensure a harmonious environment.

​

Australia hosts a diverse range of spiders, some of which may enter homes and commercial properties. Typically favoring dark and sheltered areas for hunting prey, most spiders are harmless. However, a few species possess venom, which can be a concern, particularly for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. 

​

The city's favorable climate and diverse natural habitats host a range of spider species. From the venomous Sydney funnel-web spider to the striking golden orb-weaver, and various harmless orb-weaver and huntsman spiders, Sydney's urban and suburban areas contribute to a rich arachnid biodiversity

Identifying spider presence can help determine whether intervention is necessary:

  • Webs: Intricate webs for prey capture; multiple webs indicate infestation.

  • Egg Sacs: Silk-covered spider egg sacs in corners or hidden spots.

  • Sightings: Consistent spider sightings, especially near entrances, signal an infestation.

​

While most spiders are not harmful to humans, some can pose risks:

  • Venomous Species: Redback spiders and funnel-web spiders are examples of venomous species found in Australia. Their bites can cause severe reactions and require medical attention.

  • Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to spider bites, leading to swelling, itching, and discomfort.

  • Phobias and Anxiety: An excessive spider population can cause anxiety and distress for individuals with arachnophobia.
