Spiders

New Zealand is home to around 250 spider species, including venomous ones like katipo and whitetail. Intricate spider webs are quite common in New Zealand, with spiders such as the long-jawed and golden orb weavers known for their impressive web-spinning skills. Spiders play an essential role in the ecosystem and are a significant part of New Zealand’s natural heritage. However, spider webs can often be unsightly and a nuisance when spun on homes.

Can I control the problem myself?

 

DIY spider web control can be achieved in several ways, without necessarily using chemicals or toxic substances. One method is to use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the spider webs and spiders. You can also use a broom or a brush to remove cobwebs in corners, ceilings, and walls around your home. Another method is to spray natural spider repellents, such as lavender, peppermint, or citrus essential oils in areas where spiders often stay. You can also plant spider-repelling plants, such as eucalyptus, mint, or lemongrass, around your home. Additionally,  all the small cracks and holes in walls, windows, and doors can prevent spiders from entering and making webs inside your home. Regular home cleaning, especially in dark and dusty areas, can also help keep spiders at bay.
