Spider Pest Control

Answer: Clear your clotheslines, close all windows and doors, and remove items blocking access to your external foundation walls and skirting boards (interior treatment only).

• Important: Please stop all DIY efforts. Avoid using supermarket sprays or insect dusts while waiting for your appointment, as ineffective use can increase spider resistance and alter their behavior, reducing our treatment’s effectiveness.
• Exterior Prep: Bring in all washing from the clothesline, close all windows and doors securely, and move items away from outside walls so we can seamlessly spray your claddings, eaves, and spouting.
• Interior Prep: If you have booked an interior treatment, clear your window sills and move furniture or clutter away from your skirting boards. Store all fruit bowls and food packing inside closed cupboards.
• House Washing: If you are planning a house wash, ensure this is completed before our team arrives for spider treatment so you don’t wash away our residual protective barrier. The treatment is weather-fast, but harsh scrubbing, detergents, and high-pressure water blasting will remove the coatings.

Answer: All family members, children, and household pets must remain completely clear of the treated areas and property for a minimum of 3 hours while the application dries.

• 3-Hour Safety Window: Our safety-first approach requires that nobody enters the treated areas until the product has thoroughly dried on treated surfaces. If we are treating the interior and exterior, planning a family outing away from the property for 3 hours is necessary.
• Product Selection: We utilize professional-grade products. These are carefully applied to be completely safe for families once dry, but much less friendly to spiders.
• Targeted Placement: Our applications are precisely applied to exterior cladding to minimize overspray. On the interior, application is primarily applied to out-of-reach surfaces like scotia, recessed lights, and upper door frames—meaning the products remain localized and out of general reach.

Answer: Existing spiders will be eliminated quickly on contact, new webs will stop appearing overnight, and interior spiders will be driven outside by our repellent barrier.

• De-Webbing Results: If selected, our popular de-webbing service will physically clear away the unsightly cosmetic mess, instantly stopping cobwebs from interfering with your security cameras or smoke alarms.
• Outside Effect: As spiders travel along your treated cladding, fences, gates, or decks, they contact our residual barrier and drop off quickly, resulting in a dramatic population collapse around your home within days, without affecting native bush species that are just minding their own business.
• Inside Effect: If selected, our interior treatment creates an invisible repellent shield. This quickly forces crawling bugs and vagrant hunters (like White Tails) out of your living spaces toward your treated exterior walls.

Answer: Contact us if you see active, web-building spiders or fresh interior visitors within your 6-month warranty period.

• 6-Month Guarantee: Our professional applications are fully backed by a solid guarantee to protect your home and help you sleep easier at night.
• Environmental Breakdown: While the product continues killing spiders long-term, weather elements slowly degrade its strength over 6 months. We recommend a proactive re-treatment every 6 months to maintain a constant repellent barrier.
• Free Service Returns: If your spider problem persists past the initial application window, our Wellington team will return to inspect and re-treat your home at no extra cost.

Answer: Manage outdoor night lighting, clear away garden clutter, and minimize overhanging vegetation touching your house structures.

• Lighting Management: Keep external lights turned off at night when possible, or switch to yellow bug bulbs. Bright lights attract flying insects, which inadvertently creates a massive, attractive feeding ground for spiders.
• Foliage Control: Trim back shrubs, trees, and box hedges away from your roofline and claddings to remove the natural cover new spiders use to migrate onto your home.
• Regional Risk Awareness: Bushy environments like Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and Kapiti naturally see prolific numbers of Grey, Black House, and predatory White Tail spiders. In contrast, Wellington CBD apartments see far fewer species (primarily Daddy Longlegs), making tailored seasonal prevention in Spring and Autumn key.
