Spider control in Melbourne: redbacks, white-tails and webbing spiders

Redbacks sit in messy webs under outdoor furniture, brick retaining walls, roller-door tracks and sheds. White-tails are hunters and often show up indoors near laundries, bedding and towels. Webbing spiders load up eaves, fences and ceiling corners.

A good spider treatment covers the exterior web zones, harbourage areas and likely indoor movement paths. De-webbing matters because it removes egg sacs and makes the residual treatment contact new activity.

If you have children using the garden, redbacks under outdoor toys or retaining walls are worth treating quickly. For white-tails, the bigger question is whether the house has a web-spider food source that keeps attracting them.
