Spider Control in Ultimo 2007 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Spider treatment starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Ultimo.
Ultimo sits about 1.9 km south-west of the CBD in the Sydney CBD & Inner City, and postcode 2007 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Ultimo most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Tumbalong Park and Prince Alfred Park in Ultimo, and Broadway Shopping Centre is close enough to be on the same run.
We cover Chippendale, Haymarket and Darlington on the same runs as Ultimo, which helps when spider problems are moving between neighbouring properties. In a tower the population is usually shared. We treat your unit and tell you plainly if the source is common property, because that is what the building has to act on.
Most Ultimo bookings come in as units in towers where the kitchen backs onto shared services. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Broadway Shopping Centre and Central station are on the same round, which means every part of 2007 is within our area.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2007 run the day before, and if Chippendale or Haymarket is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Most spiders found indoors in Ultimo 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.
Bushland blocks get the most funnel-web activity and the most wandering spiders after rain. That is where ground treatment matters most.
Funnel-webs live in burrows in moist, shaded ground - garden beds, under rocks, in rockeries and beneath logs. Spraying the eaves of a Ultimo 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.
Between 2 and 4 cm, glossy black, and burrowing into cool sheltered ground beneath rocks, logs and buildings with a silk lining. Males are out looking for females in summer and autumn. Treat any bite as a medical emergency.
Black with a red stripe on the female's back, spinning ragged webs somewhere dry and sheltered: outdoor furniture, letterboxes, pot rims, pool fences, sheds. Bites can cause severe pain - 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.
The big flat fast one, found under bark, in wall cavities and behind curtains. Startling but shy. It hunts rather than spinning webs, so controlling the insects it eats means fewer come back.
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 | Among the most dangerous spiders in the world; the venom acts on the nervous system | Pressure immobilisation bandage, as for a snake bite, and keep the person completely 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 | Pain that often becomes severe, with sweating and feeling unwell; antivenom exists | Do NOT apply a pressure bandage. Clean the area, then use a cold pack wrapped in cloth | Seek medical care if pain is severe or symptoms develop |
| White-tailed spider | A painful bite causing redness and itch; no ulcers in a study of 130 confirmed cases | Wash the area, then use 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.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
Summer and autumn is when males leave the burrow hunting for females, according to the Australian Museum, and when most people will meet one.
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.
Wandering males end up in pools and can live for many hours under the water. The skimmer net, always - never your hand.
From the Central Coast down to the Georges River, and west to around Baulkham Hills - mostly in the bushier, more 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.
Webs and egg sacs come down from eaves, pergolas, outdoor furniture and garages, so spiderlings cannot hatch into the treatment.
The outside gets a residual - walls, eaves, window and door frames, weep holes, and any resting place we have identified.
On a property with funnel-web risk the cool sheltered ground against the house is treated too: rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers, subfloor edges.
Spot treatments go into corners, skirting and wardrobes where they are needed, and accessible roof voids and subfloors are dusted.
Web-building spiders that settle on treated walls, eaves and frames: black house spiders, redbacks and the daddy long-legs in the garage.
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 crosses the yard on a humid night. Harbourage near the house is reduced, but first aid knowledge and good habits remain important.
Garden orb weavers are harmless, even when their webs cross a path. We remove those near doors and walkways and leave the rest, since they 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) | Hatching egg sacs, with webs appearing fast on eaves and fences | Get a treatment booked and webs cleared before spiderlings spread |
| 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) | Wandering funnel-webs remain active, particularly post-rain | Stay alert on humid nights and keep gardening gloves on |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Outdoor webs thin out; huntsmen take shelter indoors and in vehicles | Use the quiet period to proof gaps before spring |
Heavy rain pushes ground-dwelling spiders up and into garages, laundries and under-house areas around Ultimo. That is when the calls spike.
The practical advice for a Ultimo 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.
Pool pump housings are sheltered and dry, which makes them classic redback sites. We check them on every Ultimo property that has one.
You are told which species we found and what each one means for your household.
Ground harbourage beside the building is part of it, not only the eaves above.
We set out plainly what a treatment can do - wandering funnel-web males included.
Our general spider treatments carry a 6-month warranty. Webs rebuilding? We return.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Ultimo sits roughly 1.9 km south-west of the CBD, inside our Sydney CBD & Inner City run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Towers give spiders something they cannot get in a free-standing house: a protected vertical route between floors, and a constant food source in the shared waste handling.
Unit blocks dominate here. We work inside your lot and quote building management separately where the common areas need doing.
We do. A lot of our Ultimo work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us when you book.
In most cases you can stay. Where an area does need to be left clear it is for a couple of hours at most, and we say so before we start.
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. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
All of them. Ultimo sits alongside Chippendale, Haymarket, Darlington and Glebe in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
