White-tail spiders are slim, dark spiders with a pale mark at the tip of the body. They often come inside at night and end up in bedding, clothes left on the floor, towels and shoes. They hunt other spiders, mainly black house spiders, so homes in Hamilton with lots of webs around windows often see white-tails too. They do not build webs to catch food, so you are more likely to see one on a wall or floor than in a web.
When you book white-tail control, the crew we book treats the inside and outside of the home with a focus on the spots white-tails travel through. Because they feed on other spiders, clearing black house spider webs is a big part of the job. The crew will also look at how white-tails are getting inside, such as gaps under doors or around window frames.
- Inside treatment of skirting boards, wardrobes and under beds where suitable
- A spray around window frames, doors and weep holes
- Web removal from eaves, windows and brickwork
- Attention to laundries, garages and stored clothing
At home, it helps to shake out clothes, towels and shoes left on the floor, and to keep bedding off the ground. Beds pushed hard against walls give spiders an easy path, so moving them out a little can help. A white-tail bite can be painful and cause redness. If a bite looks worse over time or you feel unwell, see a doctor.
We give upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby crew at a time that suits you. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7765 to book white-tail spider control in Hamilton.
