Ground dwelling spiders such as Funnel-Web Spiders, Wolf Spiders, Trapdoor Spiders and Mouse Spiders can pose a risk to families and pets when living in close proximity to the home. These spiders build burrows in soil, gardens, and beneath rocks and logs, making professional treatment the safest way to manage them.
Our Ground Dwelling Spider Treatment involves a thorough spray application to all external ground and garden areas around the home. The pesticide seeps into the soil, targeting spider burrows where they live and breed. While it is not possible to lift and treat beneath every rock or log on your property, our technician will ensure all accessible ground areas are covered for maximum effectiveness.
For the best results, we recommend mowing the grass before your appointment, removing any items from lawns and gardens that may block access, and securing pets indoors. After treatment, please avoid walking on treated areas and keep pets away until the pesticide has dried. Leaving the soil undisturbed for at least 48 hours allows the product to work effectively. Rain will not reduce the success of this service, as it actually helps carry the pesticide deeper into the soil.
Depending on the size of your property, the treatment usually takes around one hour to complete. Access is required to all external areas of your home, and sheds can also be treated if requested. By combining thorough preparation with professional treatment, we provide the most effective solution available for reducing ground dwelling spider populations.
