Black house spiders are dark, sturdy spiders that build lacy, messy webs with a funnel-shaped retreat. In Chermside, they are most often found in the corners of window frames, around brickwork, under eaves and near outdoor lights. They stay close to the web for months at a time, so the same corner can hold one spider for a long while as the webbing slowly spreads around it.
Their bite can cause pain and make some people feel unwell, and their webs also draw white-tail spiders, which hunt them. When you book black house spider control, the crew we book brushes out the webs and funnels, removes egg sacs and treats the window frames, walls and eaves where the spiders were living.

Because black house spiders go where flying insects gather, outdoor lights make a big difference. Switching to yellow globes or turning lights off when they are not needed means fewer insects near windows and fewer new webs. Wear gloves if you clear webs yourself between visits, and use a long brush rather than your hands.
Black house spiders are common on older brick and timber homes as well as newer apartments. We give upfront pricing on the phone, and visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book black house spider control in Chermside, call 07 3543 7772.
