SPIDER PEST CONTROL

Spiders like hiding in cracks and crevasses during the day coming out at night to hunt for food and to spin their webs. Australia is home to over 2,000 species of spiders including some of the most dangerous spiders in the world. While not all of them are venomous its often hard to tell – that’s why Premier1 would recommend leaving spider control to us!

How to avoid SPIDER BITES

If you’re bitten by a spider, call an ambulance, first of all, and then wash around the bite. Don’t bother with bandages as the pressure could increase your pain. Apply an icepack and keep as still as possible until anti-venom is administered at the hospital. To avoid spider bites:

1. Wear gloves and shoes when gardening or cleaning out storage areas.
2. Use a stick (not your hands) to remove any abandoned spider webs.
3. Shake out shoes before putting them on.

Tips to Prevent Spiders

After your professional spider control treatment, there are a few extra steps you can take to spider proof your home for the future.

1. Clear away trees, shrubs and bushes from around windows.
2. Don’t use pesticides in the garden – it will encourage them to come inside.
3. Keep your car windows up at night to avoid a surprise while driving!
4. Install fly screens to windows and draught strips to doors.
5. Don’t leave shoes outside overnight.
