Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in North St Ives, and how quickly we can get there.
We treat spiders right across 2075. North St Ives is roughly 16.8 km north of the city, which puts it well inside the Upper North Shore run our technicians work. We run North St Ives on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around North St Ives we work the pockets near Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve, Terramerragal Reserve and Pymble Golf Club most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby is the council area for North St Ives, and we treat St Ives, St Ives Chase and North Turramurra on the same schedule. Backing onto bush means re-entry is the issue, so proofing and the perimeter do the real work here.
What we see in North St Ives is homes on sloping blocks with a sub-floor and bush on the boundary. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Beyond that we are regularly around St Ives Shopping Village, and out as far as Hassall Park. If you are anywhere in 2075, you are inside the area we run.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because St Ives and St Ives Chase are covered on the same round, 2075 often has an earlier slot available.
Reducing dangerous spiders near play areas is usually the whole reason for the call, so we plan the job around where children actually spend time.
Spiders go where the food is. A North St Ives house with webs returning within days of clearing them has a flying-insect population feeding them, and treating that is what keeps the webs away.
The single cheapest change most North St Ives homes can make is the globe by the back door. Cool white attracts insects; warm or yellow does far less.
Two of these warrant real care. The rest are mostly a nuisance, but they are why webs reappear.
Glossy black and 2 to 4 cm long. It digs silk-lined burrows in cool, sheltered ground under rocks, logs and houses, and the males wander in summer and autumn to find 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.
A stocky dark spider making lacy, funnel-shaped webs in window frames, gaps in brickwork and the eaves. Shy, but its webs catch dust and return quickly without treatment.
Slim, dark, with a pale spot at the end of the abdomen. A roaming hunter that comes inside at night after other spiders, sometimes into bedding and clothing. Bites are painful but a large study found no ulcers.
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.

| 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 | 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 | Painful, with redness and itch; research on 130 confirmed bites found no ulcers | Wash the site, then 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.

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.
A wandering male that falls into a pool can survive many hours submerged. Always remove it with the skimmer net, never by hand.
The Sydney funnel-web is found from the Central Coast south to the Georges River and west to around Baulkham Hills, mostly in 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.
Webs and egg sacs come down from eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages, so spiderlings cannot hatch into the treatment.
Residual product is applied where spiders actually rest: the external walls, the eaves, window and door frames, and the weep holes.
Where funnel-webs are a risk, we treat sheltered ground beside the house: rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers and subfloor edges.
Inside the house it is spot treatment where required - corners, skirting, wardrobes - plus dusting of the roof void and subfloor where accessible.
Spiders that web and then sit on treated walls, eaves and frames - black house spiders, redbacks, the garage 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.
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.
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) | 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) | Male funnel-webs are still wandering, particularly after rain | Be careful on humid nights and keep gardening gloves on |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Web numbers drop outdoors while huntsmen shelter inside and in cars | A good time to proof gaps before spring arrives |
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.
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.
We treat the fence line and the first few metres of garden on a bush-backed North St Ives block, because that is the crossing point.
We name the species we find and explain their significance for your household.
Beyond the eaves: the ground harbourage alongside the house is treated as well.
We set out plainly what a treatment can do - wandering funnel-web males included.
Six months on a general spider treatment. Webs rebuilding in that period brings us back.
