Where Connells Point sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Connells Point is part of the St George & Bayside, 16.2 km or so south-west of the GPO, and 2221 is a postcode we know well. We run Connells Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Connells Point we work the pockets near Duggan Park, Young Place Reserve and Westfield Hurstville most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Georges River and Bayside is the council area for Connells Point, and we treat South Hurstville, Hurstville Grove and Blakehurst on the same schedule. Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors damp here, and damp is what sustains a population.
Connells Point jobs tend to be ground-floor units with a damp sub-floor, and houses where the garage sits below the living level. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Every part of 2221 is covered as standard.
When you book, we confirm the 2221 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at South Hurstville or Hurstville Grove that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
Indoor sightings are usually a proofing issue rather than an infestation. Gaps under doors, unscreened vents and wall penetrations account for most of what we find inside.
Sheds, cubby houses and under-deck storage are the places people forget and the places spiders prefer.
A spider builds where the food is. A sudden increase in webs around a Connells Point house usually means the insect population has risen - outdoor lighting, a flowering garden, standing water after rain - and that is the thing worth changing.
Two of these warrant real care. The rest are mostly a nuisance, but they are why webs reappear.
A glossy black spider of 2 to 4 cm that lives in silk-lined burrows in cool sheltered ground - under rocks, logs and houses. The males wander through summer and autumn seeking females, and a bite is a medical emergency.
The female is black with the familiar red stripe, webbing untidily in dry sheltered places - under outdoor chairs, in letterboxes, beneath pot rims, on pool fences and in sheds. A bite can be severely painful and needs medical advice.
Dark and stocky, with lacy, funnel-shaped webs in window frames, brick gaps and eaves. It is timid, but its webs collect dust and return quickly without treatment.
A slender dark roaming hunter, pale at the tip of the abdomen. Active indoors at night hunting other spiders, sometimes in bedding and clothes. Bites hurt; a large study found no ulceration.
A big flat spider that moves fast, living under bark, inside wall cavities and behind curtains. Frightening in a car or bedroom but genuinely shy. It is a hunter, not a web-builder, so controlling its prey reduces the numbers returning.
From one of our jobs - a huntsman found on an exterior inspection in Sydney. Eaves, window heads, meter boxes and garden edges all get checked before any treatment.

| Spider | Risk | First aid | Get help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney funnel-web | Venom that attacks the nervous system and can be life-threatening | Pressure immobilisation bandage, exactly as for a snake bite, and keep them still | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Bites are unusual, though some have caused funnel-web-like illness | Apply pressure immobilisation, treating any large black spider bite as funnel-web | Call 000 immediately |
| Redback | Pain that can worsen considerably, plus sweating and malaise; antivenom is available | Do NOT apply a pressure bandage. Wash the bite and apply a cold pack in a cloth | Seek medical care if pain is severe or symptoms develop |
| White-tailed spider | Painful, red and itchy; no ulceration was found in a study of 130 confirmed bites | Clean the area and use a cold pack | See a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist |
| Black house spider, huntsman and others | Typically local pain and some swelling | Wash the site and apply 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.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
Male funnel-webs abandon their burrows chiefly in summer and autumn to look for females, says the Australian Museum. That is the season people meet them.
Humid nights after rainfall bring the males out. They take shelter in shoes left outdoors, in laundry on the floor, in garages and under doors.
Backyard pools catch wandering males, and they survive underwater for hours. Use the skimmer net every time, 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.
The inspection is a walk round with you, covering eaves, window frames, fences, rockeries, retaining walls, subfloor vents and garden edges.
Webs and egg sacs come down from eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages, so spiderlings cannot hatch into the treatment.
Residual product covers external walls, eaves, window and door frames, weep holes and the spots spiders rest in.
Where funnel-webs are a risk we take the treatment to the ground beside the house - rockery, retaining wall, sleepers, subfloor edge.
Inside the house it is spot treatment where required - corners, skirting, wardrobes - plus dusting of the roof void and subfloor where accessible.
Web-building species settling onto treated walls, eaves and frames, which covers black house spiders, redbacks and 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 funnel-web will never cross the yard on a humid night. Treatment reduces harbourage near the house, but first aid knowledge and simple habits still matter.
The orb weavers stringing webs across a garden path are harmless. We clear the ones by doors and walkways and leave the rest, because they eat flying insects.
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 are hatching and webs multiply across eaves and fences | Treat and clear the webs before the spiderlings disperse |
| Summer (Dec to Feb) | Wandering season starts for male funnel-webs; redbacks active on outdoor furniture | Check pools and shoes, look over outdoor areas, maintain the door seals |
| Autumn (Mar to May) | Funnel-web males continue to move about, especially following rain | Stay alert on humid nights; wear gloves for garden work |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Fewer webs outside, and huntsmen move indoors and into cars | The right time for pest-proofing gaps ahead of spring |
Treatment reduces risk; it does not remove the need for habits. Children should know not to pick spiders up and not to reach into a pool or a woodpile by hand.
Activity climbs through spring and peaks in the warm, humid months. Funnel-web wandering is worst after heavy summer rain, which is also when Connells Point households find them indoors.
Every address in 2221, from Young Place Reserve across to the South Hurstville boundary - houses, units, sheds, pools and the gardens around them.

Ground harbourage beside the building is part of it, not only the eaves above.
We set out plainly what a treatment can do - wandering funnel-web males included.
Covered for 6 months on a general treatment - if the webs come back, we come back.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Connells Point sits roughly 16.2 km south-west of the CBD, inside our St George & Bayside run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors and ground-floor wet areas damp for most of the year, and sustained damp is exactly what spiders need to establish.
Walk-up blocks and free-standing houses, with moisture the common factor. The sub-floor gets as much attention as the kitchen.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Connells Point 2221, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
For a standard Connells Point home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
