Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Strathfield South, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2136 covers Strathfield South and the streets immediately around it. At about 12 km west of the CBD it falls in the Inner West, where we have vans out daily. We run Strathfield South on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Strathfield South we work the pockets near Frog Conservation Area, Strathfield Golf Course (private) and Westfield Burwood most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
This is the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, and our runs here also take in Enfield, Belfield and Strathfield. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
The spider calls we take from Strathfield South are mostly apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Beyond that we are regularly around Chullora Marketplace, and out as far as Edwards Park. If you are anywhere in 2136, you are inside the area we run.
When you book, we confirm the 2136 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Enfield or Belfield that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
The single cheapest change most Strathfield South homes can make is the globe by the back door. Cool white attracts insects; warm or yellow does far less.
A silk-lined hole in damp shaded soil needs care, not a shovel. Around Strathfield South we treat ground harbourage specifically rather than assuming a perimeter spray covers it.
Ground treatment near a Strathfield South garden where children play is planned specifically. There is always a way to do it that suits the household.
Two of these warrant real care. The rest are mostly a nuisance, but they are why webs reappear.
A 2 to 4 cm glossy black spider that burrows into cool shaded ground - under rocks, logs, houses - lining the burrow with silk. Wandering males appear in summer and autumn, and 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.
Dark and stocky, with lacy, funnel-shaped webs in window frames, brick gaps and eaves. It is timid, but its webs collect 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.
Large, flattened and fast-moving, sheltering under bark, in wall cavities and behind curtains. Alarming to find in the car or bedroom, yet timid. It hunts instead of webbing, so fewer come back once their prey insects are controlled.
Taken on an Elite inspection in Sydney: a huntsman found outside. The eaves, window heads, meter boxes and garden edges are all checked before treatment starts.

| Spider | Risk | First aid | Get help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney funnel-web | Venom acting on the nervous system, potentially lethal | A pressure immobilisation bandage as for snake bite, with the person kept still | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Bites are rare, but the venom can act like funnel-web venom in some cases | Any bite from a large black spider gets funnel-web first aid: pressure immobilisation | 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 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 | 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.
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.
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, looking at eaves, window frames, fences, rockeries, retaining walls, subfloor vents and the garden edges.
All webs and egg sacs are brushed off eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages, which stops a fresh hatch in the treated zone.
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.
Indoors we spot treat corners, skirting and wardrobes only where it is needed, and dust the roof void and subfloor wherever we can get to them.
Those that build webs and settle on treated surfaces - black house spiders, redbacks, and the daddy long-legs in the garage.
Huntsmen and white-tails hunt rather than web, so they touch less of the treatment. Controlling their prey is what reduces them over time.
That a wandering male funnel-web will not come through the yard on a humid night. Treatment cuts harbourage near the house; first aid knowledge and good habits remain essential.
Those orb weavers across the garden path are harmless. We take down webs by doors and walkways, but leaving some in the garden helps with 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) | The hatch begins and webs appear quickly on eaves and fences | Treat and clear webs before the spiderlings spread |
| 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) | Wandering funnel-webs remain active, particularly post-rain | Stay alert 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 |
We treat the fence line and the first few metres of garden on a bush-backed Strathfield South block, because that is the crossing point.
Huntsmen come inside for shelter when it gets hot or wet, not to nest. Seal the gaps under external doors on a Strathfield South house and the number you find indoors drops noticeably.
Pool pump housings are sheltered and dry, which makes them classic redback sites. We check them on every Strathfield South property that has one.
We tell you what we found and what each species means for the people living there.
The ground harbourage alongside the house gets treated, not only the visible eaves.
Clear advice on what a treatment can do, including for wandering funnel-web males.
General treatments are covered for 6 months - webs back within it means we return.
