Common Spider Problems
Spiders are a common problem throughout Wellington, especially during warmer months when insect activity increases and spider populations become more noticeable around homes and businesses.
Spider infestations often begin outside around eaves, fences, decks and gardens before spreading into garages, sheds and indoor living areas. While most species are harmless, repeated webbing and visible spider activity can become frustrating for property owners.
Signs of a spider problem include:
-
Spider webs around windows, doors and entryways
-
Cobwebs under eaves and rooflines
-
Spiders gathering around outdoor lighting
-
Spider sightings inside living areas
-
Webs returning shortly after cleaning
Common Spiders Found In Wellington
White-Tailed Spider
White-tailed spiders are one of the most commonly identified spiders in New Zealand homes. Unlike web-building spiders, they actively hunt other spiders and may sometimes wander indoors.
House Spider
House Spiders commonly build webs around windows, ceilings, garages, sheds and outdoor structures. While harmless, they can quickly become unsightly if left untreated.
Daddy Long Legs
Often found indoors, daddy long legs prefer quiet corners, ceiling spaces and garages where they build loose, irregular webs.
Garden Spiders
Garden spiders build large orb-shaped webs around vegetation, fences and outdoor living spaces.
Our Spider Control Process
Inspection
We identify areas of high spider activity, common webbing locations and conditions that encourage spiders to remain around your property.
Treatment
Targeted residual treatments are applied around exterior walls, eaves, window frames, entry points and other high-risk locations.
Ongoing Protection
Our treatments continue working after applications to reduce spider populations and help prevent rapid reappeara.
Treatments may also help reduce other insects that attract spiders to your property.
Why Do Spiders Keep Coming Back?
Many homeowners remove spider webs only to find they reappear again within days.
This is often because spiders are attracted to:
-
Exterior lighting that attracts insects
-
Flying insect populations
-
Sheltered eaves or rooflines
-
Dense vegetation near buildings
-
Warm, protected indoor spaces
Professional spider treatment helps break this cycle by reducing spider activity and targeting the insects that attract and support spider populations around your property.

How long does a spider treatment last?
Residual treatments continue to work after application and can provide ongoing protection against spiders and web formation.
