Australia is home to a diverse range of spiders, and New South Wales (NSW) is no exception. While many spiders play a beneficial role in controlling other pests, certain species can pose a threat to humans and may require professional pest control intervention. Let’s explore some common spiders found in NSW and strategies for effective spider pest control.
Recognised by its distinctive red stripe on the abdomen, the female redback spider is venomous. It is commonly found in urban areas, including gardens, sheds, and outdoor structures.
Large and hairy, huntsman spiders are often harmless but can be intimidating due to their size. They are commonly found indoors and outdoors, preferring dark and sheltered areas.
Known for its distinctive white-tipped abdomen, the white-tailed spider is found in homes and gardens. While its bite can cause discomfort, severe reactions are rare.
These spiders construct intricate orb-shaped webs to catch prey. While most orb-weavers are harmless, some can cause mild irritation if bitten.
Wolf spiders are ground-dwelling and are often found in gardens and outdoor areas. While their bite may cause discomfort, they are generally not dangerous.
Orb-weaving spiders leave distinctive, well-constructed webs.
Frequent sightings of spiders, especially indoors, may indicate an infestation.
The presence of spider egg sacs in corners or hidden spaces may indicate an established population.
