In most households, spiders are a common sight. However, most are benign, and there are some dangerous species across Perth. Its bites can produce pain, allergic reactions or, in rare cases, serious health problems. Every homeowner should learn how to recognise and safely remove spiders.

Common Dangerous Spiders in Perth

Species common to Perth homes include the Redback spider and Funnel-web spider. Redbacks are small but venomous. Funnel-web spiders are larger and more aggressive when disturbed. These spiders usually schmooze in dark and quiet places, including under furniture, corners, sheds or garages. Knowing their habitats can help avoid unwanted encounters.

Signs of Spider Infestation

They leave signs: spider webs in corners, behind furniture or in storage areas. You might also find egg sacs or small groups of spiders. The presence of spiders indoors, particularly during warmer months, may also indicate an infestation. Inspections and cleaning done on a regular basis may lower the chances of being bitten or suffering damage from spider webs.

DIY Spider Control Tips

Begin with a clean and tidy home. Dust vacuum corners, behind furniture and storage areas. Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows and walls to keep them out. Peppermint oil or eucalyptus sprays may work as natural repellents. Use no harmful chemicals which might endanger pets or children. DIY can be of use, but may not rouse you from dangerous spiders.
