Our Process

Inspect
Get in Touch – Simply fill out our online form or give us a call. One of our technicians will contact you to discuss your options and provide a quote. For commercial properties, please contact us directly. We’ll then book a treatment time that works best for you.
Site Arrival – On arrival, we’ll greet you and ask you to explain the situation in detail. Show us where you’ve seen cockroaches, how many, their colour, and any other observations that may help us.
Inspection – We carry out a full inspection of your property, including:
- All rooms
- Exterior areas

Treat
Treatment – After the inspection, our technician will choose the most effective treatment method for your property (see options below). Before starting, we’ll explain the process and all health and safety details to ensure you feel comfortable.
Some of our Spider Treatments
Exterior Barrier Spray – We’ll treat the outside of your property with a long-lasting insecticide that kills spiders on contact and continues working for 3–6 months.
Exterior Cleaning – We’ll remove any spiders around your home and wash away webs, debris, and markings they’ve left behind.
Spider Traps – We’ll place discreet traps to monitor spider activity and catch any that may have been missed during treatment.
Removing Greenery – In some cases, gardens and vegetation close to the house create hot spots for spiders. We’ll point these out to you and, if needed, provide a quote for safe removal.

Maintain
Follow up visits are the best ways to stay on top of the problem. Give us a call to discuss this further

Everything To Know About The Pest
Katipo
- Description: Female Katipo spiders have rounded black bodies with a white-bordered red stripe on their back and a red hourglass marking underneath. Males and juveniles are smaller and less toxic.
- Habitat: Found on warm beaches; they are native to New Zealand but not considered pests.
- Risk: The female’s bite is toxic but rarely encountered due to their dwindling numbers.

White-Tail Spider
- Description: Slim spiders, 10–20mm long, greyish or brownish with orange-banded legs and a distinctive white tail.
- Bite: Can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort but is not life-threatening.
Grey House Spider
- Description: Grey to black in color, up to 2.5cm long, with faint abdominal patterns. Known for creating webs around windows, doors, and eaves, often with a funnel-shaped entrance.
- Risk: Harmless to humans, but their webs can be unsightly.
Tunnel Web Spider
- Description: The heaviest spider in New Zealand, commonly found in Wellington. They have red-tinted backs and black legs and create tunnels lined with webs.
