Spiders
Do you have Spiders at your home or work? Are you constantly walking through webs around your home? Are you concerned that someone will get bitten with spiders that you notice are in your garden? Is your Arachnophobia alive and well? Do you have spiders in and around your house and you just don't like them there? Maybe you need to have a professional to take a look and advise you on what to do.
At RIP Integrated Pest Management Services we know all about Spiders – Of all the thousands of Australian spiders, arthropods and insects, only three have bites which alone are capable of causing death - the funnel-web spider, the red back spider and the paralysis tick.
Spiders can be divided into two main groups:
* Crawling or Hunting spiders; and
* Webbing Spiders
Crawling or Hunting Spiders
Ground dwelling spider - mouse spider This group of spiders are not found on webs but commonly make their home under leaf litter or bark, in hollows or purpose built burrows and in general garden areas. Unlike the webbing spiders they hunt down their prey down or lie in wait to ambush their prey.
Control of crawling/hunting spiders is often limited to removal or elimination of each individual spider. Unless the species is considered dangerous, the best method of dealing with these spiders is to move them back into their habitat.
Webbing Spiders
Garden or webbing spiders depend upon silk for their movements. When young spiderlings disperse from the parent web, they produce a strand of silk which is carried by the wind. The spiderling sits or hangs on to the silk and then builds its web wherever it lands. This process is known as ballooning. Mature spiders, when moving in search of food, produce a strand of silk which is carried by the wind until it comes into contact with a building or other stationary object. The spider then travels across this strand of silk and proceeds to build a new web. This is known as bridging.
Correct identification of the spiders at your premises is the key to implementing an effective eradication and control program for their removal.
By using RIP Integrated Pest Management Services you can rest assured that all of our Spider control and treatment methods are Environmentally Friendly and most of all effective.
