Check out our simple tips for a safer space.

There’s nothing like spotting an eight-legged intruder skittering across the floor to send shivers down your spine! While some of these creepy crawlies might be harmless, others could pose a real threat to your peace of mind—and your safety. After all, Australia is home to some of the world’s most venomous species.

At Precision Pest Control, we’re dedicated to keeping your home spider-free. 

Quick tips for you to help keep spiders away: 

• Vacuum Regularly: Clean your floors and behind large furniture to remove webs and discourage spiders from settling in.
• Remove Clutter: Clear out clutter from inside and around your home, especially in basements, attics, and storage areas where spiders love to hide.
• Seal Entry Points: Inspect and fill any cracks, gaps, or holes in your walls, windows, and doors to prevent spiders from entering.
• Use Natural Repellents: Try spraying peppermint oil around your home or placing walnuts in problem areas to repel spiders naturally.
• Turn Off Outdoor Lights: Spiders are attracted to insects that gather around lights, so keeping outdoor lights off at night can reduce spider activity.

Here are some tell-tale signs (besides obviously finding live spiders everywhere): 

• Webs, Webs Everywhere: If you’re spotting webs in corners or around your home’s exterior, you might have some spider roommates.
• Burrows in Your Garden: Tiny holes in your garden could be home to spiders, especially those that like to hide underground.
• Insect Frenzy: Spiders follow their food, so if your home is buzzing with insects, spiders won’t be far behind.
• Egg Sacs: If you find egg sacs—tiny, silk-wrapped bundles—around your home, it’s time to take action. Each sac can contain up to 100 baby spiders!
