  • 8 years ago
This video is all about Australian spiders. We've got the best chart here which is Australian spider’s identification.

The most common spider is that we have here is the Redback spider. How to identify a spider?

The Redback spider has got a red line in the back of the body which is the abdomen and basically that's one way of identifying that particular spider.

Then you got the White tail spider which is going to white tip on the back of its abdomen. The huntsman is a hairy brownish colour depending on what's the process of this life is going through and they do vary in sizes.

Now going back to the Redback spider- very very common problem to us. I have had a client that actually a plumber, he actually young got bitten by red back way and he left his boots outside the house and he's put his boots on and he got beaten on toes, so that was yet a tragedy therefore inside you got all the right medication so he's all good now.

It is very important that we identify a spider before we do any treatments or anything that we need to do to fix these problems.

So then you got the white tail spider who are venomous, so we need to be extremely careful what pest and what particular spider are we dealing with.

The White tail spider once again varies between 20 to 35 millimetres in size, that’s between the male and the female. Definitely a spider, which lives on other insects and they don’t web of course, so you do found in different areas for the home.

Linen is the most common one in bedding, sheets, cupboards and so forth.

The most important thing is if you're having a problem with any of these spiders and you're not sure which ones they are. Please feel free to contact us we're here to help.
