Spiders build webs under eaves, around windows, in sheds and along garden fences in Toowong, especially where there is outdoor lighting drawing in the insects they feed on. Most are harmless, but redbacks are common around Brisbane sheds, letterboxes and garden furniture, and huntsman spiders often move inside during cooler weather looking for shelter. Both tend to settle into the same corners again and again once a web has held for a while, which is why the same spots in Toowong gardens often need attention every few months.
The crew we book clears existing webs and egg sacs first, since old webs attract more spiders even after treatment. A barrier spray then goes around the eaves, window frames, garden edges and any shed or carport, targeting the areas spiders use to shelter and hunt rather than just the visible webs. Gaps around external electricity boxes, downpipes and gutter edges are also checked, since these are easy to overlook but popular with spiders all the same.

A barrier spray in Toowong gardens generally holds for a few months, though heavy rain can wash sections away sooner and mean webs reappear earlier than expected. Redback sightings near a shed or garden bed are worth mentioning to the crew so they can pay closer attention to that spot.
