Redbacks are one of the spiders people in Hamilton worry about most, in particular with children and pets playing outside. They like dry, sheltered and undisturbed spots, and they are often found in places you reach into without looking. A bite can make someone quite unwell, so most people want a nest near the house dealt with rather than left alone. Redbacks breed through the warmer months, and one female can leave several egg sacs, so a few spiders near the back door can soon become many more.
When you book redback control, the crew we book searches the yard and the outside of the home for the messy, tangled webs redbacks build, usually low down and close to cover. They remove the webs and egg sacs they find, then treat the shelter spots so new spiders are less likely to settle there.
- Letterboxes, electricity boxes and gas bottle covers
- Under outdoor chairs, tables, barbecues and play equipment
- Pot plants, garden edging and stacked bricks or pavers
- Garden sheds, garages and the space under a raised house
- Fences, gate posts and the underside of window sills
Between visits, it helps to wear gloves when gardening or moving stored items, and to shake out shoes and gloves left outside. Keeping clutter off the ground and away from walls also gives redbacks fewer places to hide. If anyone is bitten and feels unwell, seek medical help straight away.
We give upfront pricing on the phone before the visit, and bookings can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. If you have spotted redbacks around your home in Hamilton, call 07 3543 7765 and we will book a nearby crew.
