Spider Control in Narrabeen 2101 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Spider treatment starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Narrabeen sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Narrabeen sits about 18 km north-east of the CBD in the Northern Beaches, and postcode 2101 is one we are in most weeks. We run Narrabeen on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Edgar Gornall Wildflower Garden, Toronto Avenue Reserve or Narrabeen Beach, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Narrabeen for us.
Under Northern Beaches, we cover Narrabeen and Collaroy Plateau, Collaroy and Wheeler Heights alike. Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors damp here, and damp is what sustains a population.
Around Narrabeen the pattern is fairly consistent: unit blocks a street or two back from the water, plus the odd beachfront cafe. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We cover the remainder of 2101 as well, from Augusta Shopping Centre through to Long Reef Golf Course.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2101 run the day before, and if Collaroy Plateau or Collaroy is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Spiders follow their food. If webs are multiplying on your Narrabeen eaves, there are more flying insects than there were, and the lighting and the garden are usually why.
Pool pump housings are sheltered and dry, which makes them classic redback sites. We check them on every Narrabeen property that has one.
A silk-lined hole in damp shaded soil needs care, not a shovel. Around Narrabeen we treat ground harbourage specifically rather than assuming a perimeter spray covers it.
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.
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.
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.
Big, flat and quick, found under bark, in wall cavities and behind curtains. Startling in a car or a bedroom, but shy. Because it hunts rather than webs, controlling the insects it eats reduces how many return.
A huntsman found on an Elite exterior inspection in Sydney. We work through eaves, window heads, meter boxes and garden edges before anything is applied.

| Spider | Risk | First aid | Get help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney funnel-web | Potentially fatal venom that affects the nervous system | Pressure immobilisation bandage, snake-bite style, and keep them from moving | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Bites are rare, but some have produced funnel-web-like effects | Any bite from a large black spider is treated as a funnel-web bite: pressure immobilisation | Call 000 immediately |
| Redback | Increasingly severe pain, sweating and feeling unwell; antivenom exists | Do NOT apply a pressure bandage. Wash the area, then a cloth-wrapped cold pack | Seek medical care if pain is severe or symptoms develop |
| White-tailed spider | Painful with redness and itching; a 130-bite study recorded no ulcers | Wash it and put on 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.

Male funnel-webs are out of their burrows mostly in summer and autumn looking for females, the Australian Museum notes. That is the encounter season.
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.
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.
We go round the property with you, checking eaves and window frames, the fences, rockeries and retaining walls, the subfloor vents and every garden edge.
All webs and egg sacs are brushed off eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages, which stops a fresh hatch in the treated zone.
We apply a residual to external walls, eaves, window and door frames, weep holes and the resting places we find.
We treat sheltered ground beside the house where funnel-webs are a risk: 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.
Web-building species settling onto treated walls, eaves and frames, which covers black house spiders, redbacks and daddy long-legs.
Hunters like huntsmen and white-tails meet fewer treated surfaces, so controlling their prey is what reduces them in the longer term.
That no wandering male funnel-web will ever cross the yard on a humid night. Treatment reduces harbourage near the house; first aid knowledge and sensible 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 hatching, and webs going up across eaves and fences | Clear the webs and treat before the spiderlings move out |
| Summer (Dec to Feb) | Funnel-web males start wandering; redbacks active around outdoor furniture | Check pools, shoes and outdoor areas; keep door seals in place |
| 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; huntsmen shelter indoors and in cars | Good time for pest-proofing gaps before spring |
The practical advice for a Narrabeen 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.
We are around Toronto Avenue Reserve regularly, including the bush-backed streets where funnel-web activity is highest.
A Narrabeen property bordering reserve has continuous pressure from the bush. The treatment is a managed perimeter rather than a one-off, because the supply does not stop.
We name the species we find and explain their significance for your household.
Ground harbourage beside the building is part of it, not only the eaves above.
Clear advice on what a treatment can do, including for wandering funnel-web males.
A general spider treatment carries 6 months. If webs rebuild inside that, so do we.

Get a Free QuoteSpider treatment starts from $89. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Narrabeen and a large house are priced differently. The figure is fixed before any work starts. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Narrabeen sits roughly 18 km north-east of the CBD, inside our Northern Beaches run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Humidity close to the coast does not fall away in winter the way it does inland, so spiders here get a longer active season than they would further west.
Coastal housing here is a mix, but the damp lower level is consistent across most of it.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Narrabeen 2101, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
It is, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
An hour to two hours covers most jobs. The size of the building and the extent of the problem are what change it.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
We do. Narrabeen and Collaroy Plateau, Collaroy, Wheeler Heights and Cromer are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
