Brisbane's spiders are mostly an outdoor problem that comes inside: redbacks under outdoor furniture and in the shed, huntsmen behind curtains and in the car port, and webbing spiders across the eaves, fences and downpipes. Elite treats the outside of the building and the rooms where they are coming in, from $77 per room.
Elite provides specialist cleaning and restoration for the BMS National Rugby Training Centre at Ballymore as a valued partner of Queensland Rugby Union.
Eaves, gutters, downpipes, window and door frames.
Fences, pergolas, outdoor furniture, play equipment and the shed.
Garden edges and the gaps where the house meets the ground.
Internal rooms where spiders are getting in: garages, laundries, bedrooms with external walls.
Redbacks
Redbacks like dry, sheltered spots at knee height and below: under pot plants, in the letterbox, behind the barbecue, inside the meter box. They are the spider we take most seriously in a house with children or pets, and the external treatment targets exactly those spots.
Timing
Spring and summer are peak season as the garden fills with insects for them to eat. A treatment before the warm months stops the webbing building up across the eaves over summer.
What it costs
Prices are per room, for an internal and external treatment:
General pest, for cockroaches, silverfish and spiders: from $77 per room
Flea treatment: from $88 per room
Ant treatment: from $88 per room
The total follows how many rooms are treated and which pest it is, so a unit kitchen and bathroom costs far less than a whole house.
Who comes to the door
Police-checked, fully insured technicians and a satisfaction guarantee on every job. Elite is CM3 certified, carries $20 million in public and products liability cover, and the Elite brand has been operating since 1984 from its head office in Acacia Ridge.
Spider questions
Will the webs go away?
The treatment kills the spiders; the technician brushes down what is reachable and the rest comes away with the next wash or rain.
Does the treatment cover the whole garden?
It covers the building, its perimeter and the structures beside it. Open lawn and garden beds are not treated, because that is where the spiders' food lives and the result would not last.
