Huntsman spiders are large, hairy and quick, and they have a habit of appearing on bedroom ceilings at night. In Chermside, they often live under loose bark on gum trees, behind shutters and in roof spaces, and they come indoors in search of insects or to escape heavy rain. They do not spin webs to catch food, so there is often no warning before one turns up.
When you book huntsman control, the crew we book removes any spiders they find and treats the places huntsmen use to shelter and enter the home. They look closely at gaps around window frames, doors, eaves and roof lines, since huntsmen can squeeze through surprisingly narrow spaces. Cutting down the insects huntsmen hunt is part of the job too.

Huntsmen are not usually a danger to people, though a bite can be painful. If one is in the car, pull over somewhere quiet before dealing with it, and leave the doors open for a while. At home, a large container and a sheet of card are enough to move one outside if you would rather not wait for the crew.
Huntsman numbers tend to climb in summer and after storms, when they are pushed out of their usual shelter. We give upfront pricing on the phone, and visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. For huntsman control in Chermside, call 07 3543 7772.
