Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Inspect internal and external areas (loft, eaves, sheds, garages) to locate webs, egg sacs and harbourage sites

• remove visible webs, egg sacs and adult spiders where it is safe to do so

• apply targeted, licensed treatments (dusts or residual sprays) to entry points and harbourage areas as required

• treat lofts, eaves and external perimeters and advise on sealing or follow‑up work to reduce re‑infestation

• collect and bag contaminated debris for safe disposal and leave the site tidy

• identify and refer suspected dangerous or non‑native species to a specialist for safe removal

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most inspections and single treatments take 30 minutes–3 hours depending on property size and access; lofts, high eaves or multiple rooms add time and repeat visits may be needed for eggs or heavy infestations

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you insured and do you hold any pest control licences or qualifications?

• Will you identify the species first and can you provide photos or a report?

• What control methods will you use and are they safe for pets, children and plants?

• Do you give a written quote showing call‑out, labour, materials and any extra access costs?

• How long before treated areas are safe to re‑enter and do you provide re‑entry guidance?

• Will you handle disposal of contaminated material and issue a service record?

How to Avoid Surprises

• give clear access to loft hatches, eaves, sheds and garages and remove fragile stored items

• advise the trader of parking restrictions or arrange nearby parking for vans

• secure pets and keep children away from treatment areas until you have safety advice

• check landlord or communal rules before external treatments or using pesticides

• tell the tradesperson about allergies, pregnancy or occupants with respiratory conditions

• expect short re‑entry times after residual treatments and ask for any temporary restrictions in writing
