Spider Control

Spider Control Service in Sydney

Sydney is home to some of the world's most venomous spiders. Australia is home to over 2,000 spider species, and Sydney has more than its fair share of the dangerous ones. The Sydney funnel-web spider is considered one of the most venomous spiders in the world.

Redback spiders are responsible for thousands of bites in Australia each year. While most house spiders are harmless, when you cannot tell the difference between a harmless daddy-long-legs and a juvenile redback, professional treatment is the safest choice.

At Doctor Bug, we identify the spiders on your property and apply treatments that quickly and safely reduce their populations.

How it works

Spider Control

Web & Species Identification

We thoroughly inspect your property to locate spider webs, egg sacs, and identify potentially dangerous venomous species.

Locate webs in ceiling corners, behind furniture, and along fences
Identify dangerous species like Funnel-webs, Redbacks, or White-tails
Inspect high-risk nesting areas such as subfloors, roof voids, and garden sheds

Precision Void & Web Treatment

We safely eliminate active spiders and their young using highly targeted sprays and insecticidal dusts.

Apply specialized long-lasting insecticidal dust directly into roof voids and subfloors
Treat active webs, cracks, and deep structural crevices safely
Eliminate existing egg sacs to prevent population explosions

Residual Perimeter Defense

We apply a long-lasting barrier to the exterior of your property to stop new spiders from migrating indoors.

Spray a pet-safe residual barrier around window frames, doors, and eaves
Treat exterior lighting areas that attract the insects spiders feed on
Provide advice on reducing clutter and environmental hiding spots
