Australia (and other regions) is home to dangerous spiders including redbacks, huntsmans, and funnel-web spiders. Redbacks and funnel-webs deliver venomous bites that require immediate medical attention, while huntsmans may not be medically dangerous but cause severe distress when they appear in cars, bedrooms or curtains. Termite Shield Pest Control provides spider barrier treatments that kill on contact and create a residual barrier lasting months – not hours. Store-bought sprays evaporate quickly and miss the egg sacs hidden in corners, eaves and window frames.
Our barrier treatment includes exterior perimeter spraying (eaves, window frames, door thresholds, weep holes), interior crack-and-crevice application, and web removal. We target common hiding spots: behind furniture, in garage corners, under decks and inside meter boxes. The residual product continues killing spiders for up to 3 months. For funnel-web hotspots (moist, sheltered areas like retaining walls and rock gardens), we apply a specialized granular treatment. All products are safe around children and pets once dry.
