  • The White Tail Spider can be identified by its long cigar shaped body and distinctive white tip on the tail. Usually found inside homes at floor level hiding under household or office items.

  • Wolf Spiders are almost identical to White Tail Spiders without the white tip. Similar habits to White Tail Spiders but are generally less common.

  • Huntsman are a relatively large spider that moves very fast when approached and shows aggressive behaviour when provoked. Often seen on walls and ceilings and does not attempt to hide.

  • Red-back This spider has a pea-shaped abdomen with a characteristic red or orange stripe. Red-Backs build webs in and around your home throughout rubbish, around pot plants, outdoor furniture and logs.

  • The Black House Spider is usually an “outside” spider that builds lots of messy and disorganised webs around windows and under eaves. They particularly like the areas under patio roofs with skylights. Also common in gardens, along fences, in playground equipment, on clotheslines, and under the lip of council ‘wheelie bins’.
