Spider Control

Looking for professional spider control? Australia is home to numerous species of spiders, and there’s no shortage of them in most Aussie back yards.

Many are relatively harmless, some will give you a nasty bite, and others like the Red Back, the Funnel Web and the White Tailed Spider are capable of making the recipient of the bite quite ill.

There aren’t too many of us that like spiders, so whether they’re harmless or not, it’s safe to say that most of us would prefer that all varieties of spiders stayed well away from our home!

Your local pest control expert can assist you with this by treating your home once a year to deter spiders. If you have young children or you’re frightened of spiders, annual spider control may already be your habit however there may be some more things you can do to make your home less inviting to spiders:

• Avoid storing or stacking things up against the outside walls of your home. You may have noticed that Red Backs in particular like to hide behind things. When you have a tidy up to clear these items, wear gloves and move items with caution.

• If you have a garage or shed, keep it tidy and clean – spiders like to build webs in between or behind items so stacks of boxes and unused items can be an ideal environment. Spiders seem to prefer peace and quiet so a nice dark, infrequently used garden shed makes the perfect home. Consider having a spring clean!

• Spiders eat other insects so taking steps to control other insect populations around the home may also help. If you have a problem with other insects, speak to your pest controller for advice.

• In between spider control treatments, consider using a surface spray in the areas you know spiders like to frequent. Read More

Outline Your Expectations

It is said that damage prevention is much more valuable than damage control any day. It is very important for you to try and prevent any problems from coming up in the first place by simply carrying out an orientation whereby you clearly outline the responsibilities of the job they will be doing. Skype can come in very handy in doing this. You need to go over all the policies and procedures for your business, including response times, how you’d like your assistant to handle inquiries, and the types of things they should come to you first about.
