Huntsman spiders are the big, flat, long-legged spiders that appear on walls and ceilings in North Lakes, usually at night and often just before a storm. They are shy and mostly harmless, but their size alone is enough to ruin an evening. They also like to hide behind curtains, in the sun visor of the car, under loose bark and in the gaps around window frames and roller doors.
When you book huntsman spider removal, the crew we book will first remove any huntsmen they can find in the house. They then look for the ways they are getting in, such as gaps under doors, torn fly screens, weep holes and open eaves. Treatment goes onto the outside walls, window frames and entry points, and inside onto the places where huntsmen shelter during the day, like behind furniture and in the garage. If a huntsman is in the car, park in the shade with the doors open and it will often leave on its own before the crew arrives.

Huntsmen hunt insects rather than building webs to catch them, so homes near bushland, parks and water tend to see more of them. Cutting back plants that touch the house, clearing leaf litter and keeping outdoor lights off at night all help reduce the numbers that wander inside. A treatment each year before summer keeps visits to a minimum.
