Protecting Your Home & Family from Spiders

Dealing with Spider Problems in Your Home

Spiders can be a particular nuisance in the home. They are attracted to warm, dark small spaces, like wall cracks, corners, air vents, and in the eaves of your home. Other species prefer to stay closer to the outdoors, weaving their webs in your garden or near your outside lighting. Most spiders are a nuisance primarily because of their webbing.

Spiders

There are more than 35,000 species of spiders worldwide, a few thousand of which are found in Australia alone. Spiders exist in a wide range of colours and sizes, yet they are all easily recognisable by their 8 legs. Spiders are often beneficial because they eat many types of insects, including those that are pests.

Some common species of spiders that can be found entering your home are:

  • Huntsman Spider – large flat bodied spider and is poisonous to humans but not fatal
  • Red Back Spider – lives in and around the house; will eat small snakes, insects and frogs.
  • Funnel Web Spiders – a large black bulky spider and bites may be fatal to humans
  • White-Tailed Spiders – found in cool dark places, bites can cause swelling and itchiness.

How to Keep Spiders Away

Spiders are most likely to enter the home in the autumn due to their search for a warm place to spend the winter. There are several ways that you can help to prevent and control spider problems in your home:

  • Vacuum regularly
  • Remove noticeable webs
  • Fill in gaps in walls and under doors to deter entry
  • Remove sheltering sites like firewood piles and compost piles from near your home
  • Use lighting in a way that is less attractive to the insects that spiders feed on
