Spiders Around the House? Do This First
In Ipswich and Springfield spiders move into new estates quickly, and redbacks settle into sheds, fence posts and outdoor furniture.
Turning outdoor chairs upside down when not in use leaves redbacks fewer places to settle.
Bitten by a large black spider?
Keep still, apply a pressure bandage and call 000. For any other spider bite, call the Queensland Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
-
1
Wear gloves outside
Use gloves when gardening, moving pot plants, lifting outdoor furniture or reaching into the meter box or letterbox.
-
2
Shake out shoes and clothes
Shoes, gloves and towels left outside or on the floor are favourite hiding spots.
-

Do not squash redbacks barehanded
Use a long-handled broom or leave them for us, and keep children away from the area.
-
4
Leave the webs for now
Webs show us where spiders are living, so we can treat those spots directly.

Common Spider Problems in Goodna
Which spiders you have, and where, decides how we treat them. Find yours below.
"Redbacks under the outdoor furniture"
Black with a red stripe, in messy webs close to the ground: under chairs, in pot plants, sheds, letterboxes and meter boxes.
"A huge huntsman on the wall"
Large, flat and fast. They hunt at night and come indoors and into cars. Alarming, but not considered dangerous.
"Webs in every window corner"
Black house spiders build lacy, funnel-shaped webs in window frames, eaves and brickwork, and rebuild them within days.
"Giant webs across the path every morning"
Orb weavers and golden orb spiders string large webs between trees, clotheslines and paths overnight.
"Spiders in the bedding and towels"
White-tailed spiders hunt other spiders indoors and hide in bedding, towels and clothes left on the floor.
"Spiders in the pool after rain"
Wolf, mouse and trapdoor spiders live in burrows in lawns and garden beds and wander after rain.
Know what you are dealing with
Redback or Black House Spider?
Both are black and both build messy webs around homes, but one needs a lot more caution. Here is how to tell them apart from a distance.
| Redback spider | Black house spider | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Shiny black, pea-sized body, red or orange stripe on the back | Dark brown to black, velvety, no red markings |
| Web | Tangled, sticky web close to the ground | Lacy web with a funnel-shaped retreat |
| Where | Under furniture, pot plants, letterboxes, meter boxes, sheds | Window frames, eaves, brick gaps and fences |
| Bite | Painful and can make you unwell. Seek medical advice | Painful but usually only local symptoms |
| Behaviour | Shy, bites when pressed against skin | Shy, stays in its retreat |
| Treatment | Direct treatment of webs and egg sacs | Barrier spray on frames and eaves |
Spiders, cockroaches, ants and silverfish are all covered by a general treatment. Pest Control

Why Goodna Has So Many Spiders
Spiders follow their food, and South East Queensland has insects all year round.
Local Notes for Goodna
Goodna (QLD 4300) is part of Ipswich & Springfield, about 21 km from the Brisbane CBD, and it is on our regular run. Ipswich has many heritage timber homes on stumps, while Springfield, Springfield Lakes and Redbank Plains are mostly modern brick homes on slabs. Summers here run hotter and drier than on the coast.
Termite inspections, general pest treatments and rodent control are the most common jobs. Fire ants have been found in parts of the area, so unusual ant nests in lawns should always be checked.
In Goodna we treat the places spiders build and hide: eaves, window frames, fences, sheds, subfloors and outdoor furniture.

Plenty to eat
Warm, humid weather means plenty of flies, moths and cockroaches, and spiders build wherever their food gathers: around lights, windows and outdoor areas.
Outdoor living
Decks, pergolas, sheds and outdoor furniture give redbacks and black house spiders sheltered corners right where families spend time.
Summer and storms
Spider numbers climb through spring and peak in summer. Heavy rain floods ground spiders out of their burrows and into garages and pools.

What is at stake
Why Spiders Should Not Be Left or Just Sprayed
A few spiders are part of life. A yard full of redbacks is not.
Redback bites
Redback bites are painful and can make people unwell, and children are most at risk because they play close to the ground.
Egg sacs hatch
One redback egg sac can hold hundreds of spiderlings. Without treatment, the next generation is already on the way.
Webs everywhere
Black house spiders and orb weavers rebuild overnight, covering windows, eaves and paths.
Fly spray does not last
Supermarket spray kills the spider it hits, but leaves no lasting protection on the surfaces they use.
How it works
How Our Spider Control Works
Treat the spiders, treat the surfaces, let it work. Your technician explains the plan and the price first.
-
1
Inspect
We look for webs, egg sacs and hiding places inside and out, and note any redback sites.
-
2
Upfront price
You get the price before anything starts.
-
3
Treat directly
Webs, burrows and hiding places are treated so the spiders and their egg sacs are covered.
-
4
Apply the barrier
A residual treatment goes on eaves, frames, fences, subfloors and other surfaces spiders walk on.
-
5
Clear the webs
Leave webs up for a week or two so remaining spiders contact the treatment, then brush them down.
Pricing
How Much Does Spider Control Cost in Goodna?
A unit balcony is a quick job. A large home with sheds, fences and a big yard takes longer. These are the things that set the price.
What sets the price
-
Size of the home and yard. More eaves, fencing, sheds and garden structures mean more surface to treat.
-
Inside, outside or both. External treatment is the core of the job. Internal and roof void treatment is added where spiders come inside.
-
Number of redback sites. Heavy redback activity takes more direct treatment.
-
Combined with a general treatment. Spiders are included in a general pest treatment, which is usually better value.
You get an upfront price once the technician has seen the job, and that is the price you pay. No hidden costs.

Questions
Spider Control Goodna FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
Will the treatment kill every spider?
It clears web-building spiders, including redbacks, very well because they sit on treated surfaces. Roaming spiders such as huntsman are harder, as they can walk in from untreated areas, but you should see far fewer of them.
How much does spider control cost in Goodna?
It depends on the size of the home and yard, whether you need inside as well as outside treated, and how many redback sites there are. The technician gives you the price before any work starts. Adding spiders to a general pest treatment is usually the best value.
Is spider spray safe for children and pets?
Yes, once dry. We apply it to eaves, frames, fences and other surfaces away from where people and pets sit. Keep everyone off treated areas until they are dry, and cover fish ponds and bird baths.
How long does a spider treatment last?
Generally up to 12 months on protected surfaces such as eaves and under-cover areas. Surfaces exposed to full sun and rain break down sooner.
When is the best time to treat spiders in Goodna?
Spring and early summer, before numbers peak, gives the best result. That said, a treatment at any time of year will clear existing spiders and webs.
Why should I leave the webs up after treatment?
Spiders that were missed, and those hatching from egg sacs, pick up the treatment as they move across the web and nearby surfaces. Brushing webs down too early removes that contact.
Are there funnel-web spiders in Goodna?
Funnel-webs do occur in parts of South East Queensland, mainly in cooler, forested ranges, but they are uncommon in suburban Brisbane. If you are bitten by any large black spider, keep still, apply a pressure bandage and call 000.
