Redbacks live in the dry, sheltered spots around Altona homes: under outdoor furniture, in switchboard boxes, letterboxes, kids' play equipment and the gaps in brick fences. White-tails wander inside on warm nights hunting other spiders. Black house spiders web up window frames, eaves and the corners of pergolas.
A spider treatment covers the outside of the house first, eaves, window frames, weep holes, fence lines, sheds and outdoor furniture, then the inside corners, wardrobes and behind furniture where white-tails rest. Webbing is brushed down so you can see when new webs appear.
Spring and early summer are the busy times as spiders come out of winter cover. Many Altona customers book spider control with the annual general treatment.
