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.

Everything To Know About The Pest

- 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

- Bite: Can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort but is not life-threatening.
Grey House Spider
