SPIDERS
Safe, Professional Spider Control for Homes & Businesses
From harmless garden spiders to the more concerning Sydney funnel-web, spiders are part of life in Sydney but that doesn’t mean you have to share your home with them. At Gladiator, we offer spider control that’s effective, reassuring, and safe for families, pets, and workplaces. We understand which spiders are seasonal, where they tend to hide, and how to manage them without fuss or fear.
Why Choose Gladiator for Spider Control?
Our licensed technicians are known for their friendly approach, clear communication, and respectful service. We don’t use scare tactics or harsh chemicals. Instead, we offer expert spider treatment using proven methods that target the problem at its source — including spraying, web removal, and entry-point treatment. We also explain how to keep spiders out in the long term, so you feel confident and informed.
We treat every home like it’s our own. That means no rushed visits, no hidden costs, and no unnecessary upsells — just thoughtful, professional service you can trust.
Have been using Matt and his team for years, and never disappointed. He was very careful and understanding of our needs as we have a new kitten and wanted to be careful even though the spray is pet and child friendly. Highly recommend the service.

FAQs
-
Yes — when applied professionally, our spider treatments are safe for families, children, and pets.
We use targeted, low-odour products approved for use in Australian homes. These are applied to surfaces where spiders live and move, not where your family spends time. Once dry (usually within a couple of hours), it’s safe to resume normal activity. We’ll always explain the process clearly so you know exactly what to expect.
-
In most cases, you don’t need to leave — but we may suggest stepping out for a short time while the treatment is applied, especially if you have young children, pets, or sensitivities.
Our technician will let you know before we start, and we’ll make sure the property is properly ventilated so it’s comfortable and ready for you to return.
-
Yes, to a degree. You can help reduce spider activity by:
Removing webs regularly with a broom or vacuum
Sealing gaps around windows and doors
Keeping outdoor lights off when not needed (to reduce flying insects that spiders feed on)
Trimming plants and shrubs away from exterior walls
For long-term control, professional treatment is best — it targets both the spiders and their food sources, keeping your home clear for months at a time.
Our Process
Inspection
We inspect key areas where spiders typically nest or hunt — around eaves, skirting boards, garden edges, sheds, and garages. We identify species and assess how widespread the issue is.
Treatment
We apply targeted surface sprays, remove existing webs, and treat cracks, crevices, and entry points. Treatments are safe for homes with children and pets and designed for lasting protection.
Prevention
We offer advice on reducing insect activity, decluttering outdoor areas, and sealing potential entry points to make your home less inviting to spiders.
Follow-Up
For homes with recurring issues or high-risk areas (such as bushland, waterfronts, or older buildings), we offer seasonal spider treatments as part of an ongoing pest management plan.
