What we cover in Mount Colah, and how quickly we can get there.
If you are in Mount Colah or anywhere else in 2079, you are in our Upper North Shore patch, 23.3 km north of the CBD. We run Mount Colah on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Mount Colah jobs are in the streets around Mount Colah station and Hunt Reserve, and we are out near Asquith Golf Club regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
This is the Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby area, and our runs here also take in Mount Kuring-gai, Hornsby Heights and Asquith. With bushland close by there is constant pressure from outside, so the perimeter and the fence line get as much attention as the house.
The bulk of our Mount Colah work is properties where the fence line matters as much as the kitchen. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
All of 2079 falls inside the area we service.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Mount Kuring-gai and Hornsby Heights sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2079 come up regularly.
Ground treatment near a Mount Colah garden where children play is planned specifically. There is always a way to do it that suits the household.
Timing a treatment just before the spring hatch does far more for a Mount Colah property than treating in midsummer once the spiderlings have already dispersed.
Funnel-webs live in burrows in moist, shaded ground - garden beds, under rocks, in rockeries and beneath logs. Spraying the eaves of a Mount Colah house does nothing about the spider people are actually worried about.
Two of these warrant real care. The rest are mostly a nuisance, but they are why webs reappear.
A glossy black spider 2 to 4 cm long, living in a silk-lined burrow in cool sheltered ground beneath rocks, logs and houses. Males wander through summer and autumn looking for females, and any bite is a medical emergency.
Black, with the red stripe on the female's back, and untidy webbing in dry sheltered positions - under outdoor seating, letterboxes, pot rims, pool fencing and sheds. Bites can be severely painful; seek medical advice.
Dark, stocky, and responsible for the lacy funnel webs in window frames, brick gaps and eaves. Timid - though the webs gather dust and rebuild rapidly if untreated.
Dark and slim with a pale-tipped abdomen, it hunts rather than builds webs, coming indoors at night after other spiders and sometimes into bedding. Painful bites, but no ulcers in a large study.
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.

| Spider | Risk | First aid | Get help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney funnel-web | Neurotoxic venom that can be life-threatening | Apply pressure immobilisation as for a snake bite and keep the patient still | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Rarely bites, though serious funnel-web-type effects have been recorded | Treat a bite from any big black spider as funnel-web: pressure immobilisation bandage | Call 000 immediately |
| Redback | Pain that can turn severe, with sweating and general illness; antivenom exists | Do NOT apply a pressure bandage. Wash the bite, then apply a cold pack in cloth | Seek medical care if pain is severe or symptoms develop |
| White-tailed spider | A painful bite with local redness and itching; a study of 130 confirmed bites found no ulcers | Wash the bite and apply 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.

Summer and autumn is when males leave the burrow hunting for females, according to the Australian Museum, and when most people will meet one.
After rain, on a humid night, more males are moving - and they shelter in outdoor shoes, floor laundry, garages and door gaps.
They fall into pools while wandering and survive hours underwater. Use the skimmer net and never reach in with 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.
We walk the property together, going over the eaves, window frames, fencing, rockeries, retaining walls, subfloor vents and the edges of garden beds.
We brush webs and egg sacs off the eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages, so no spiderlings hatch into the area we have treated.
A residual goes where spiders actually sit: external walls, eaves, the frames of windows and doors, and the weep holes.
On a property with funnel-web risk the cool sheltered ground against the house is treated too: rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers, subfloor edges.
Corners, skirting boards and wardrobes get spot treatment if required, and the roof void and subfloor are dusted where 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.
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.
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) | Spiderlings hatch and webs multiply over eaves and fencing | Book treatment and clear webs ahead of the spiderlings spreading |
| Summer (Dec to Feb) | Male funnel-webs begin wandering, and redbacks are busy around outdoor furniture | Check the pool, the shoes and outdoor areas, and keep door seals intact |
| 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) | Outdoor webs become scarce while huntsmen shelter indoors and in cars | A good window for proofing gaps before spring |
Most spiders found indoors in Mount Colah 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 treat the fence line and the first few metres of garden on a bush-backed Mount Colah block, because that is the crossing point.
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.
We identify what is on the property and explain what it means for your family.
The sheltered ground beside the house is treated, not just what you can see up top.
Clear guidance on what treatment delivers, including with wandering funnel-web males.
Our general spider treatments carry a 6-month warranty. Webs rebuilding? We return.

Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 23.3 km north of the city here, and Mount Colah is covered by the Upper North Shore team.
Where bushland adjoins the block, the question is not how spiders got in but how often. The perimeter is what decides that.
Homes with sub-floors, roof voids and bush at the boundary - all three get inspected.

Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.

Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
