Canberra Pest Control... Peace of mind for you and your family

Apart from several types of indigenous Australian spiders whose bites are often dangerous and occasionally life-threatening, most are relatively harmless. However, they sometimes bite humans who encroach on their habitat. Any spider bite should receive medical attention as blood poisoning or an infection could possibly result. Apart from widespread and sometimes pathological fear of spiders, the most common reason for control is the elimination of unsightly webs.

As with all pest management programs, an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach is an integral part of successful spider control. All control procedures are preceded by a thorough inspection of the entire premises to define the extent of the problem.

Precise application is favoured over 'blanket' spraying. Sometimes even changing the position or the colour of nearby lights can reduce the number of insects attracted to them, and hence the spider population.
