Huntsman spiders are large, long-legged and quick on their feet, and they give plenty of people in Brisbane a fright when one appears on the bedroom wall. They do not build webs to catch food. Instead they hunt at night and shelter by day in tight spaces like behind loose bark, under roof tiles, inside wall cavities, behind window shutters and in car sun visors.
A single huntsman on the wall can simply be caught in a container and put outside. When they keep showing up, it usually means there are many living in the roof void, around the eaves or in the garden close to the house. That is when a booked treatment helps. The crew we book finds the gaps and shelter spots huntsman spiders use and treats them, cutting down the numbers that find their way inside.
- Check of eaves, window frames, shutters and weatherboard gaps
- Dusting of roof voids where access allows
- Treatment of outside walls, doors and garden edges
- Indoor treatment of corners, skirting and behind furniture
- Advice on sealing gaps under doors and around screens
Huntsman spiders often move inside ahead of or after storms, and in the warm months from spring through to autumn. Timber homes with lots of gaps, and houses backing onto bush or big trees, tend to see more of them. You do not need to leave the home for an outdoor treatment, but indoor rooms should be left empty until surfaces are dry.
We give you upfront pricing on the phone once we understand the size of the house and whether the roof void is included. To book huntsman spider removal in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7772 and we will line up a nearby crew.
