A big thank you to Martinus for trusting FirstStop Pest Management to take care of your redback spider problem 🕷️
Redback spiders are one of Australia’s most well-known spiders and are commonly found around homes, sheds, outdoor furniture, meter boxes and storage areas
How to identify a Redback Spider ‼️
Redback spiders are usually small, black spiders with a distinctive red or orange stripe running along the top of their abdomen. Some may also have a faint red marking underneath in the shape of an hourglass.
They are commonly found in dark, sheltered areas such as:
• Under outdoor furniture
• Around children’s toys
• Inside meter boxes
• Sheds and garages
• On pot plants
Their webs are messy and tangled, often close to the ground with a small retreat area where the spider hides.
While they may be small, their bite can be dangerous — especially for children and pets. Regular inspections and treatments can help keep your property safe and reduce spider activity around the home.
If you’re noticing webs or spider activity around your property, contact FirstStop Pest Management - Wagga Wagga for professional local service you can trust.
