Pest control for huntsman spiders
Commonly known for their hunting accuracy and speed, this spider is definitely not one you want lingering around your family home!
Huntsman Spiders, also known as “giant crab spiders,” “wood spiders,” and “rain spiders,” are one of Queensland’s most common 8 legged critters. Identified by their large size, with in fact the largest leg span of any arachnid, you can recognize a huntsman almost instantly. Their sheer size partnered with their hairy body and unmistakable brown colour, makes them a commonly feared species amongst many Aussies.
Although not deadly to humans, huntsman spiders are dissimilar to other arachnids, in that rather than creating a web, they instead spend their time scuttling along walls and floors to find and catch their prey. This then makes them much more accessible to children right up to adults and often instills fear due to their speed, agility and size!
Living in Queensland, seeing a huntsman spider is an inevitability. Preferring to mate in warmer climates, our humid Brisbane weather makes for prime mating conditions for our long legged friends. Laying 200 eggs at a time in places like bathtubs, cupboards, wardrobes and even in shoes, if you see a huntsman spider in your home, you’re more than likely to encounter some babies shortly after!
