Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Asquith.
Asquith sits about 22.2 km north-west of the CBD in the Upper North Shore, and postcode 2077 is one we are in most weeks. We run Asquith on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Asquith Golf Club, Asquith station or Gardenia Street Park, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Asquith for us.
This is the Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby area, and our runs here also take in Hornsby, Hornsby Heights and North Wahroonga. Backing onto bush means re-entry is the issue, so proofing and the perimeter do the real work here.
What we see in Asquith is homes on sloping blocks with a sub-floor and bush on the boundary. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
The whole of 2077 is covered, Collingridge Reserve included.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Hornsby and Hornsby Heights are covered on the same round, 2077 often has an earlier slot available.
Most spiders found indoors in Asquith homes came in by accident - under a door, through a vent, or on something carried in. They are not establishing; they are lost, which is why door seals do more than spraying skirting boards.
We place product where people and animals do not go, and tell you what to keep clear of and for how long - usually a couple of hours on treated surfaces. Mention pets, chickens or fish tanks when booking a Asquith job.
Web density is a food-supply reading. Where it comes back fastest around a Asquith property tells us where the insects are, and that is usually a light left on overnight.
Two of these warrant real care. The rest are mostly a nuisance, but they are why webs reappear.
A 2 to 4 cm glossy black spider that burrows into cool shaded ground - under rocks, logs, houses - lining the burrow with silk. Wandering males appear in summer and autumn, and a bite is a medical emergency.
Females are black with a red dorsal stripe, spinning untidy webs in dry sheltered places - beneath outdoor chairs, in letterboxes, under pot rims, on pool fences and in sheds. A bite can be severely painful and needs medical advice.
Stocky and dark, spinning lacy funnel webs into window frames, gaps in brickwork and eaves. It is a shy spider, but the webs collect dust and rebuild quickly without treatment.
Slim and dark with a pale-tipped abdomen, this one hunts rather than webs. It comes indoors at night after other spiders, sometimes into bedding and clothing. Bites hurt, but a large study found no ulcers.
Large, flattened and fast-moving, sheltering under bark, in wall cavities and behind curtains. Alarming to find in the car or bedroom, yet timid. It hunts instead of webbing, so fewer come back once their prey insects are controlled.

| Spider | Risk | First aid | Get help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney funnel-web | Venom acting on the nervous system, potentially lethal | A pressure immobilisation bandage as for snake bite, with the person kept still | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Seldom bites, but serious funnel-web-like effects have occurred | Treat as a funnel-web bite - pressure immobilisation - for any big black spider | Call 000 immediately |
| Redback | Pain that can become severe, sweating and feeling unwell; antivenom exists | Do NOT apply a pressure bandage. Wash, then apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth | Seek medical care if pain is severe or symptoms develop |
| White-tailed spider | A painful bite causing redness and itch; no ulcers in a study of 130 confirmed cases | Wash the area, then use a cold pack | See a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist |
| Black house spider, huntsman and others | Generally just local pain and swelling | Clean the bite and use a cold pack | See a doctor if you feel unwell or symptoms persist |
If you are not sure what bit you and it was a large black spider, assume funnel-web and call 000. A pest treatment reduces spider numbers; it cannot guarantee a funnel-web will never wander in.

According to the Australian Museum, male funnel-webs leave their burrows mostly over summer and autumn to find females. That is when most people meet one.
Humid nights after rain bring more wandering males. They shelter in shoes left outside, laundry on the floor, garages and gaps under doors.
Males wandering at night fall into backyard pools and can stay alive for hours underwater. Use the skimmer net - never your hand.
Its range runs from the Central Coast south as far as the Georges River, and west to about Baulkham Hills, concentrated in bushy sheltered suburbs.
Outside first, because that is where most spiders live and breed.
A walk of the property together, checking eaves and window frames, fences, rockeries, retaining walls, subfloor vents and garden edges.
We clear the webs and egg sacs from eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages so new spiderlings do not emerge into the treated area.
We apply a residual to external walls, eaves, window and door frames, weep holes and the resting places we find.
Where funnel-webs are a risk, we treat sheltered ground beside the house: rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers and subfloor edges.
Where required, corners, skirting and wardrobes are spot treated, and we dust the roof void and subfloor if accessible.
Spiders that web and then sit on treated walls, eaves and frames - black house spiders, redbacks, the garage daddy long-legs.
Huntsmen and white-tails are hunters, touching fewer surfaces. Controlling the insects and spiders they feed on reduces them over time.
That a wandering male will never cross the yard on a humid night. What treatment does is reduce harbourage near the house; first aid knowledge and simple habits still matter.
The garden orb weavers stringing webs across paths are harmless. We clear webs near doors and walkways, though leaving some in the garden helps keep flying insects down.
Simple habits that matter most in funnel-web and redback country.
| Season | What spiders are doing | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (Sept to Nov) | Egg sacs open and web numbers climb on eaves and fences | Treat early and remove webs before the young scatter |
| Summer (Dec to Feb) | The funnel-web males start moving; redbacks active around outdoor furniture | Check pools, shoes and the outdoor areas, and keep the door seals maintained |
| Autumn (Mar to May) | Funnel-webs keep wandering, particularly following rain | Be alert on humid nights and keep the gardening gloves on |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Fewer webs outside, with huntsmen moving indoors and into vehicles | Use the quiet season to proof gaps ahead of spring |
Bushland blocks get the most funnel-web activity and the most wandering spiders after rain. That is where ground treatment matters most.
The practical advice for a Asquith family is the dull kind that works: shoes shaken out, gloves for the garden, a pressure immobilisation bandage in the kit, and 000 and 13 11 26 saved in the phone.
Heavy rain pushes ground-dwelling spiders up and into garages, laundries and under-house areas around Asquith. That is when the calls spike.
We tell you which spiders we found and what they mean for your family.
Not just the eaves - the ground harbourage next to the house is treated too.
Clear advice on what a treatment can do, including for wandering funnel-web males.

Get a Free QuoteSpider treatment starts from $89. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Asquith 2077. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Asquith sits roughly 22.2 km north-west of the CBD, inside our Upper North Shore run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Undisturbed ground, leaf litter and fallen timber right to the boundary mean spiders are always established next to the house. Re-entry, not eradication, is what we are managing here.
Mostly detached housing backing onto reserve. Proofing and the perimeter are what actually hold here.
We do. A lot of our Asquith work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
It is, as long as you follow what we tell you on the day - usually keeping off treated surfaces for a couple of hours. Let us know at booking about young children, pets or an aquarium.
Most of the time you can carry on as normal. If a particular area needs to be empty we will flag it when we arrive and it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. If activity continues past the expected period, call us and we will come back.
We cover the whole of Asquith, from the streets around Collingridge Reserve out to the suburb boundary and on into Hornsby.
