Identifying Poisonous Spiders

28 July 2024

Identifying Poisonous Spiders in Your Home & How to Deal With Them

Poisonous spiders can pose a significant threat to your family’s safety and well-being. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and deal with these pests promptly to prevent harmful bites and infestations.

Common Poisonous Spiders in Queensland

In Queensland, some of the most common poisonous spiders include the Redback spider, Funnel-web spider, and White-tailed spider. These spiders can be found in various parts of your home, including gardens, sheds, and even inside your house. Therefore, knowing how to identify them is essential for your safety.

Identifying Poisonous Spiders

Redback Spider: The Redback spider features a distinctive red stripe on its back and thrives in dry, sheltered locations.

Funnel-web Spider: The Funnel-web spider, known for its aggressive nature, can be identified by its shiny black body and typically inhabits moist, cool environments.

White-tailed Spider: The White-tailed spider, characterized by a white spot at the tip of its abdomen, often resides inside homes, particularly in bedding and clothing.

Dealing with Poisonous Spiders

First and foremost, it is important to remain calm if you encounter a poisonous spider. Next, take the following steps:

  • For Redback spiders, ensure dry, sheltered locations are clean and free of clutter.
  • For Funnel-web spiders, keep moist, cool environments around your home well-maintained and avoid leaving shoes or other items outside.
  • For White-tailed spiders, regularly check bedding and clothing, especially if you notice any signs of spider activity.
