Redback spider in Melbourne
Redback spiders have been breeding up in large numbers throughout the western and inner metro Melbourne areas, including Melton, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton, Laverton North, Sunshine, Footscray and the Melbourne CBD.
These pests are a legitimate menace, and pose a serious threat to children, the elderly and our pets, which are all highly susceptible to Redback spider venom.
If you are one of the many effected by these dangerous spiders, Amalgamated Pest Control can manage these pests for you effectively by targeting their harbourages (where they live!). Garden sheds, roof voids, sub-floor areas and gardens are all common sites to find these pests.
The stuff of nightmares
With the warmer weather we have had a number of reports where they have even been found under beds inside the home. One terrified lady called who actually found a redback spider in her babies cot – certainly the stuff of every parents nightmares!
In this situation, a thorough inspection by one of our Technicians and the physical removal and destruction of the Redback spiders inside the home, combined with a full treatment to the external gardens, walls and fences has resulted in success and a much happier young mother!
Amalgamated Pest Control in Melbourne offer and stand by our 6 month free service period that comes with this service. Ask our friendly office staff about combining this treatment with a full Timber Pest Inspection for the best prices possible. Remember, Termites are also on the move in Spring!
