Where Moore Park sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Moore Park sits about 3.2 km south of the CBD in the Eastern Suburbs, and postcode 2021 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Moore Park most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near The Australian Golf Club, Edmund Resch Reserve or Allianz Stadium, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Moore Park for us.
This is the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area, and our runs here also take in Centennial Park, Paddington and Redfern. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
What we see in Moore Park is apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
We also work the area near Jack Floyd Reserve, and the rest of 2021 with it.
The 2021 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Centennial Park and Paddington fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
We brush down egg sacs as part of every job because leaving them means a hatch into treated ground a few weeks later. Spring is when this matters most.
Redbacks want dry, sheltered, undisturbed spots - the underside of outdoor furniture, pot rims, letterboxes, the shed, the meter box. Around Moore Park that is where we concentrate rather than on the house walls.
A spider builds where the food is. A sudden increase in webs around a Moore Park 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.
Glossy black, 2 to 4 cm, living in silk-lined burrows in cool, sheltered ground under rocks, logs and houses. Males wander in summer and autumn looking for females. A bite is a medical emergency.
The female is black with a red stripe on the back and builds untidy webs in dry, sheltered spots: under outdoor chairs, letterboxes, pot rims, pool fences and sheds. Bites can cause severe pain and need medical advice.
This is the dark stocky one with lacy funnel webs in window frames, brickwork gaps and eaves. It avoids people, but the webs collect dust and reappear fast without treatment.
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.
The big flat fast one, found under bark, in wall cavities and behind curtains. Startling but shy. It hunts rather than spinning webs, so controlling the insects it eats means fewer come back.

| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 records male funnel-webs leaving their burrows mainly through summer and autumn to find females - the period when encounters peak.
More males wander on humid nights following rain, sheltering in shoes left outdoors, laundry on the floor, garages and the gaps beneath doors.
Pools trap wandering males, which can survive many hours submerged. Always use the skimmer net - never your hand.
The species ranges from the Central Coast south to the Georges River and west to about Baulkham Hills, favouring bushy sheltered suburbs.
Outside first, because that is where most spiders live and breed.
Together we walk the property, checking the eaves, window frames, fences, rockeries, retaining walls, subfloor vents and garden edges.
We brush the eaves, pergola, outdoor furniture and garage clear of webs and egg sacs before treating, which stops a hatch landing in the treatment.
The residual goes onto external walls, the eaves, window and door frames, weep holes and the resting places.
Where the property carries funnel-web risk, we treat the cool sheltered ground against the house: rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers, subfloor edges.
Where required, corners, skirting and wardrobes are spot treated, and we dust the roof void and subfloor if accessible.
Spiders that build webs and settle on treated walls, eaves and frames - black house spiders, redbacks, and the daddy long-legs in the garage.
Hunters like huntsmen and white-tails contact fewer treated surfaces. Reducing the insects and spiders they feed on brings their numbers down over time.
Nobody can promise a wandering male funnel-web will never cross the yard on a humid night. Treatment reduces harbourage near the house - first aid and sensible habits do the rest.
Harmless, the garden orb weavers that web across paths. Webs near doors and walkways are removed; some left in the garden 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) | Egg sacs open and web numbers climb on eaves and fences | Treat early and remove webs before the young scatter |
| Summer (Dec to Feb) | Funnel-web males on the move, redbacks active around outdoor seating | Check the pool and shoes, look over outdoor areas, maintain door seals |
| Autumn (Mar to May) | Male funnel-webs are still wandering, particularly after rain | Be careful on humid nights and keep gardening gloves on |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Outdoor web activity falls and huntsmen come indoors and into cars | Good timing to seal gaps ahead of spring |
We go through the specific risks on a Moore Park property with you - where redbacks are likely, whether the block is in funnel-web country - so the advice fits the house rather than being general.
Heavy rain pushes ground-dwelling spiders up and into garages, laundries and under-house areas around Moore Park. That is when the calls spike.
Funnel-webs regularly end up in pools and survive hours underwater. Do not assume one floating in a Moore Park pool is dead.
We tell you what we found and what each species means for the people living there.
Not just the eaves - the ground harbourage next to the house is treated too.
We are clear about what a treatment can and cannot do, including wandering males.
General spider treatments come with 6 months of cover, and webs returning means we do too.

At roughly 3.2 km south of the city, Moore Park is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
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.
Units near the water and houses set back from it, with damp sub-floors the common factor in both.
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Moore Park 2021 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Yes. The products are registered for this use and applied at label rates, and placement keeps them away from where children and animals go. Let us know at booking about pets, fish tanks or anyone with asthma and we will plan the visit around it.
Usually not. Most spider control work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
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. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
Yes - we work right across the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area, which takes in Moore Park and the suburbs around it.
