Where Dundas sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Dundas sits about 17.6 km north-west of the CBD in the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland, and postcode 2117 is one we are in most weeks. We run Dundas on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Dundas work takes in the streets by Yallamundi station and Sturt Park, through to Rydalmere Park at the other end.
City of Parramatta and Cumberland is the council area for Dundas, and we treat Rydalmere, Telopea and Oatlands on the same schedule. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
Around Dundas the pattern is fairly consistent: older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
The rest of 2117 is covered too, including the pockets around Rangihou Reserve and Eric Primrose Reserve.
Bookings for 2117 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Rydalmere and Telopea often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
Redbacks want dry, sheltered, undisturbed spots - the underside of outdoor furniture, pot rims, letterboxes, the shed, the meter box. Around Dundas that is where we concentrate rather than on the house walls.
Funnel-webs live in burrows in moist, shaded ground - garden beds, under rocks, in rockeries and beneath logs. Spraying the eaves of a Dundas house does nothing about the spider people are actually worried about.
A white outdoor light draws flying insects from a long way off, and the spiders follow them to the wall it is mounted on. Switching a Dundas entry light to a warm or yellow globe makes a visible difference within weeks.
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.
Black with a red stripe down the back, the female builds a ragged web somewhere dry and sheltered, such as under outdoor furniture, in a letterbox, under a pot rim, on a pool fence or in a shed. Severe pain is possible and medical advice is needed.
A dark, stocky spider whose lacy funnel-shaped webs appear in window frames, brick gaps and eaves. Timid by nature, though the webs gather dust and come back fast if untreated.
This is the slim dark spider with a pale abdomen tip. It hunts other spiders indoors at night and can end up in bedding or clothes. Bites are painful, and a large study found no ulcers.
Large, flat and fast, living under bark, in wall cavities and behind curtains. Alarming in a car or bedroom, but shy. It hunts rather than webbing, so fewer huntsmen tend to return once the insects they eat are controlled.
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 | Among the most dangerous spiders in the world; the venom acts on the nervous system | Pressure immobilisation bandage, as for a snake bite, and keep the person completely still | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Uncommon bites, but some have caused serious effects similar to funnel-web | Treat any bite from a big black spider as a funnel-web bite: pressure immobilisation | Call 000 immediately |
| Redback | Pain that often becomes severe, with sweating and feeling unwell; antivenom exists | Do NOT apply a pressure bandage. Clean the area, then use a cold pack wrapped in cloth | Seek medical care if pain is severe or symptoms develop |
| White-tailed spider | A painful bite with redness and itching; a study of 130 confirmed bites found no ulcers | Wash the site and apply a cold pack | See a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist |
| Black house spider, huntsman and others | Mostly local pain and swelling only | Clean the area 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.

The Australian Museum notes that male funnel-webs mostly leave the burrow across summer and autumn to search for females - which is when most encounters happen.
Rain followed by a humid night means more wandering males, and they shelter in outdoor shoes, laundry on the floor, garages and under-door gaps.
Wandering males end up in pools and can live for many hours under the water. The skimmer net, always - never your hand.
Central Coast in the north, the Georges River in the south, and west to roughly Baulkham Hills - mostly 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.
A residual is applied to the external walls, eaves, window and door frames, weep holes and wherever spiders rest.
Where funnel-webs are a risk, we treat sheltered ground beside the house: rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers and subfloor edges.
Indoors it is targeted: corners, skirting and wardrobes where required, plus dusting of any accessible roof void and subfloor.
Those that build webs and settle on treated surfaces - black house spiders, redbacks, and the daddy long-legs in the garage.
Huntsmen and white-tails are hunters, touching fewer surfaces. Controlling the insects and spiders they feed on reduces them over time.
That no wandering male funnel-web crosses the yard on a humid night. Harbourage near the house is reduced, but first aid knowledge and good habits remain important.
Garden orb weavers stringing webs over paths are harmless. We clear the ones near doors and walkways and leave others, which helps control 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) | Spiderlings hatch and webs multiply over eaves and fencing | Book treatment and clear webs ahead of the spiderlings spreading |
| 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 continue to wander, notably after rainfall | Take care on humid nights; wear gloves for garden work |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Web numbers drop outdoors while huntsmen shelter inside and in cars | A good time to proof gaps before spring arrives |
We treat the fence line and the first few metres of garden on a bush-backed Dundas block, because that is the crossing point.
We are around Dundas station regularly, including the bush-backed streets where funnel-web activity is highest.
Activity climbs through spring and peaks in the warm, humid months. Funnel-web wandering is worst after heavy summer rain, which is also when Dundas households find them indoors.
You will know which spiders are on the property and what that means for the family.
Beyond the eaves: the ground harbourage alongside the house is treated as well.
Clear, honest advice on the limits of treatment, including wandering males.
Six months on a general spider treatment. Webs rebuilding in that period brings us back.

Most of this area is terrace, semi and converted block, and those share more than people realise - cavities, roof spaces, drainage. spiders use all of it.
Terraces and semis, often with a paved rear courtyard that traps damp against the wall - both of which shape the job.
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Dundas 2117 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us when you book.
Usually not. Most of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
We do. Dundas and Rydalmere, Telopea, Oatlands and Camellia are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
