Spiders
Spiders enter buildings in search of shelter or insect prey.
Appearance and behaviour
Know the pest, not only the symptom.
Spiders activity depends on access, food, moisture, shelter and seasonal conditions. Correct identification matters because similar-looking pests can require different responses.
Appearance can vary by species and life stage. Avoid relying on colour or size alone; droppings, damage, location, time of activity and movement pattern can all help identification.
Why it matters
- Nuisance and fear
- Occasional bites
- Indication of insect activity
Prevention
- Remove webs
- Seal openings
- Reduce outdoor lighting near entries
Why it enters
Food. Water. Shelter. Access.
Residential
Kitchens, roof spaces, bedrooms, gardens, drains and stored belongings can provide different resources or routes.
Commercial
Deliveries, loading doors, stock, waste, service ducts and operating hours can increase exposure and movement.
Agricultural
Fields, feed, grain, packhouses, animal areas and open structures need site-specific monitoring and prevention.

DIY limitations
Seeing fewer pests is not always the same as solving the source.
Consumer products may temporarily reduce visible activity. They may not reach concealed stages, may be unsuitable for sensitive areas and can delay correct identification.
Never mix products or use agricultural products in homes. Follow every product label and keep children, animals, food and water protected.
Request professional assessmentFrequently asked
Questions about spiders.
Can I identify spiders from a photograph?
A clear photograph can help with initial triage, but a site inspection may still be needed to confirm the pest, source and extent of activity.
Why might a DIY treatment fail?
A product may affect only visible pests while eggs, larvae, nests, harbourage or entry routes remain. Incorrect placement can also waste time or spread activity.
What should I do before Lonezer arrives?
Keep the affected area accessible, avoid moving suspect items between rooms and note where and when activity was seen. Treatment-specific preparation is explained after assessment.
