One of the main things that can make your home look untidy are spider webs. They love to spin their webs across garden paths and walkways and trust me, there not much fun walking through them at night. So what can be done to keep spiders at bay.

The number one way to rid your home of spiders is to break the breeding cycle. With web spinning spiders this is fairly easy, as long as the webs haven’t been disturbed. Treatments will involve spraying under eaves,gutters,windows and window frames. Also vegetation around the home would need treating as well.

Red Back spiders are another problem typically found in the Ipswich area. If Red Back spiders are found, then the location of the nests need to be discovered and treated. Normally these are found in undisturbed crevices,cracks and corners around the home. These spiders can inflict a nasty bite and you should seek medical assistance if bitten.

Huntsman spiders are a little harder to rid your home of. They don’t spin webs to catch their food. They typically hunt their food, so they generally roam around the home looking to munch on a bug or two. They like to hang out behind furniture, pictures, paintings and wall clocks waiting for their prey to come along.

Huntsman spiders do look scary but they are really shy creatures. It’s rare for a huntsman spider to bite a human. If they do it’s most likely you were really annoying them. There bite is mild and pretty much harmless.
