What we cover in Winston Hills, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2153 covers Winston Hills and the streets immediately around it. At about 24 km north-west of the CBD it falls in the Hills District, where we have vans out daily. We run Winston Hills on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Winston Hills we work the pockets near Impeesa Reserve, Winston Hills Mall and Max Ruddock Reserve most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Constitution Hill, Toongabbie and Northmead are all on the same route as Winston Hills. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
Most Winston Hills bookings come in as properties where the fence line matters as much as the kitchen. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Wherever you are in 2153, you are inside the area our technicians cover.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Constitution Hill and Toongabbie sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2153 come up regularly.
Sheds, cubby houses and under-deck storage are the places people forget and the places spiders prefer.
Most spiders found indoors in Winston Hills 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.
A spider builds where the food is. A sudden increase in webs around a Winston Hills house usually means the insect population has risen - outdoor lighting, a flowering garden, standing water after rain - and that is the thing worth changing.
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.
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.
This is the dark stocky one with lacy funnel webs in window frames, brickwork gaps and eaves. It avoids people, but the webs collect dust and reappear fast without treatment.
A dark slender hunter marked by a pale tip to the abdomen. It roams indoors at night hunting other spiders, occasionally into bedding and clothes. Painful bites, though a large study recorded 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.

| Spider | Risk | First aid | Get help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney funnel-web | Potentially life-threatening venom that acts on the nervous system | Apply a pressure immobilisation bandage as for a snake bite, keep the person still | Call 000 immediately |
| Mouse spider | Infrequent bites, some with serious effects resembling funnel-web envenomation | Any large black spider bite 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 | 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 | Usually nothing beyond local pain and swelling | Wash the bite 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.

According to the Australian Museum, male funnel-webs leave their burrows mostly over summer and autumn to find females. That is when most people meet one.
Wandering increases on humid post-rain nights. Shoes left outside, laundry on the floor, garages and gaps under doors are where they end up.
Backyard pools catch wandering males, and they survive underwater for hours. Use the skimmer net every time, never your 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 are brushed off the eaves, the pergola, the outdoor furniture and the garage, so nothing hatches into ground we have just treated.
A residual product goes on external walls, eaves, window and door frames, weep holes and the places spiders rest.
Funnel-web risk brings the ground into scope - the sheltered strip beside the house, rockeries, retaining walls, sleepers and subfloor edges.
Inside, corners, skirting and wardrobes get spot treatment only where it is needed, and we dust the roof void and subfloor wherever access allows.
Spiders that web and then sit on treated walls, eaves and frames - black house spiders, redbacks, the garage daddy long-legs.
Hunting spiders such as huntsmen and white-tails, which touch fewer surfaces. Controlling the insects and spiders they eat helps reduce them over time.
That a wandering male funnel-web never crosses the yard after rain. What we do is cut the harbourage close to the house - the habits and the first aid still count.
Garden orb weavers stringing webs over paths are harmless. We clear the ones near doors and walkways and leave others, which helps 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) | The hatch gets under way and webs spread across eaves and fences | Book treatment and clear webs ahead of the spiderlings |
| 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) | Wandering continues among funnel-webs, most of all after rain | Take care on humid nights and wear gloves when gardening |
| Winter (Jun to Aug) | Fewer webs outdoors, with huntsmen sheltering inside and in cars | Ideal timing for proofing gaps before spring |
We treat the fence line and the first few metres of garden on a bush-backed Winston Hills block, because that is the crossing point.
Every address in 2153, from Impeesa Reserve across to the Constitution Hill boundary - houses, units, sheds, pools and the gardens around them.
Heavy rain pushes ground-dwelling spiders up and into garages, laundries and under-house areas around Winston Hills. That is when the calls spike.
Which spiders we found, and what they actually mean for your family - you get both.
The sheltered ground beside the house is treated, not just what you can see up top.
Clear advice on what a treatment can do, including for wandering funnel-web males.

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 Winston Hills 2153. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Our Hills District technicians cover Winston Hills daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
The bush is a permanent reservoir. Treating inside does little here unless the boundary and the perimeter are dealt with, because re-entry is the real issue.
Homes with sub-floors, roof voids and bush at the boundary - all three get inspected.
We do. A lot of our Winston Hills 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. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
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 inside that period does not cost you anything.
All of them. Winston Hills sits alongside Constitution Hill, Toongabbie, Northmead and Baulkham Hills in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
