Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where St Ives Chase sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Our Upper North Shore technicians cover St Ives Chase and the rest of 2075 as a matter of course - it is only about 18.1 km north of the city. We run St Ives Chase on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our St Ives Chase jobs are in the streets around Pymble Golf Club and The Mall Reserve, and we are out near Terramerragal Reserve regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
St Ives Chase is in the Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby area, and we cover North Turramurra, St Ives and North Wahroonga on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your spider problem has come from next door. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
The bulk of our St Ives Chase work is houses backing onto a reserve, where the pressure is constant from outside. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Every part of 2075 is covered as standard.
The 2075 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where North Turramurra and St Ives fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Most spiders found indoors in St Ives Chase 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.
The single cheapest change most St Ives Chase homes can make is the globe by the back door. Cool white attracts insects; warm or yellow does far less.
Pool pump housings are sheltered and dry, which makes them classic redback sites. We check them on every St Ives Chase property that has one.
Two of these warrant real care. The rest are mostly a nuisance, but they are why webs reappear.
This is the glossy black one, 2 to 4 cm, in a silk-lined burrow in cool sheltered ground beneath rocks, logs or the house itself. Males wander summer and autumn. 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.
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.
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.
Flat, large and fast, under bark and in wall cavities and behind curtains. Alarming to come across indoors or in a car, but harmless in temperament. A hunter rather than a web-builder, so prey control reduces the numbers.
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 | 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 | Seldom bites, but serious funnel-web-like effects have occurred | Treat as a funnel-web bite - pressure immobilisation - for any big black spider | 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 | 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 | Local pain and swelling is the usual extent | Wash the bite and put a cold pack on it | 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 rain bring more wandering males. They shelter in shoes left outside, laundry on the floor, garages and gaps under doors.
Backyard pools catch wandering males, and they survive underwater for hours. Use the skimmer net every time, 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.
Walking the property with you, we check eaves, window frames, fences, rockeries, retaining walls, subfloor vents and garden margins.
Webs and egg sacs are brushed off the eaves, the pergola, the outdoor furniture and the garage, so nothing hatches into ground we have just treated.
A residual goes where spiders actually sit: external walls, eaves, the frames of windows and doors, and the weep holes.
Where funnel-webs are a risk we take the treatment to the ground beside the house - rockery, retaining wall, sleepers, subfloor edge.
Where needed we spot treat corners, skirting and wardrobes, and dust the roof void and subfloor wherever they can be accessed.
The web-builders that rest on treated walls, eaves and frames: black house spiders, redbacks and garage daddy long-legs.
Huntsmen and white-tails hunt instead of webbing, so they meet less of the treatment. Bringing their prey down is what reduces them over time.
That no wandering male funnel-web will ever cross the yard on a humid night. We reduce harbourage close to the house, but knowing the first aid and keeping sensible habits still matters.
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) | Funnel-web wandering continues, especially after rain | Stay alert on humid nights; keep gardening gloves on |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Webs outside become scarce; huntsmen shelter indoors and in cars | A sensible time to pest-proof gaps before spring |
Heavy rain pushes ground-dwelling spiders up and into garages, laundries and under-house areas around St Ives Chase. That is when the calls spike.
We treat the fence line and the first few metres of garden on a bush-backed St Ives Chase block, because that is the crossing point.
The practical advice for a St Ives Chase 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 name the species we find and explain their significance for your household.
Ground harbourage beside the house, not just the eaves you can see.
Straight advice about what treatment achieves, wandering funnel-web males included.
General spider treatments come with 6 months of cover, and webs returning means we do too.

Get a Free QuoteSpider treatment starts from $89. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in St Ives Chase 2075. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. St Ives Chase sits roughly 18.1 km north of the CBD, inside our Upper North Shore run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Properties on a bush edge get re-supplied continuously. That is why our work in St Ives Chase is as much about the fence line and the perimeter as the inside of the house.
Homes with sub-floors and roof voids backing onto reserve - we inspect all three plus the boundary.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across St Ives Chase 2075, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
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. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Yes. As well as St Ives Chase we cover North Turramurra, St Ives, North Wahroonga and Turramurra on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
