How to identify a red back spider

Red back spiders can be clearly identified by their body shape and colour – jet black and a vibrant stripe of red or orange on their abdomen. Females are usually 12 to 15mm in size, whilst males are a lot smaller and boast a brown colour with white markings.

What should you do if your find one?

These spiders are one of the most potentially dangerous species in Australia and should be avoided at all times. It is critical that you do not handle this pest, as they can cause fatal harm. To ensure your home is free of these in the future, call our red back spider control specialists to stop the problem in its tracks.

Tips to start you out

Not all spiders are harmful, but the red back is. It is critical that you ensure this species is not present within your property at all times – be it at home or in the office. Additionally, this pest usually occupies residences when in search for a place to feed and hide, making it essential that you’re taking the right steps to keeping free of them. Here’s a few tips to get you started:

  • Keep your home/office tidy at all times;

  • Avoid stacking items against the walls in your front and backyard – they love to hide here;

  • Get rid of unused goods, such as empty boxes – they will hide in them;

  • Ensure you’re getting rid of other insects around your home/office to discourage them from inhabiting the area.
