Spider Control in Johannesburg
A rain spider on the wall gives you a fright, and a violin or button spider in the garage can really hurt someone. We find where they are living around your home and treat those spots, so your family and your pets are safe.
- The spiders stop coming back, because we clear out the insects that pulled them in.
- They lose every hiding spot, since we treat the roof, the garage, the store room and the outside walls.
- You can send your kids into the garage again without worrying about a violin or button spider.
Why Spiders Are a Serious Problem
Spiders love hiding in dark corners, built-in cupboards, garages, store rooms and the roof void. Most people don't even notice them until there are way too many. Here's why you should not wait.
Some Spiders Are Dangerous
Violin spiders and button spiders can bite and cause real harm. The problem is where they sit: shoes, folded washing, bedding and storage boxes in the garage. You often do not know they are there until someone is bitten.
They Signal a Bigger Problem
Spiders eat other bugs. So if you are seeing spiders, that usually means you have another pest problem in your home that's bringing them in.
DIY Sprays Don't Work
Sprays from the store barely touch the nests where spiders are actually living. They just come right back. And they keep getting in through cracks, vents, and gaps all over your home.
Webs Make a Mess of Your Home
Some spiders build webs everywhere, and it gets old fast. Webs in the corners, in the garage, across doorways. It makes your home feel dirty even when it is not. And if you have kids or pets, it is just not something you want around. The longer you wait, the worse it gets, especially when it is warm and humid out.
Signs of a Spider Infestation
Even seeing just a few spiders usually means there are a lot more you are not seeing. Catching it early helps you avoid bites, web buildup, and a much bigger problem later.
Webs in Corners & Hidden Spots
If you keep finding webs in corners, the garage, the store room, the cupboards or up in the roof, spiders have already moved in and are settling.
Venomous Species Spotted
If you have spotted a violin spider or a button spider in the house, that is not something to ignore. Both can give a serious bite, and where there is one there are usually more.
Spiders Entering Through Gaps
If you see spiders crawling in through cracks around your windows, doors, or foundation, your home has openings they are using to get inside.
Egg Sacs in Hidden Areas
Finding small, round egg sacs tucked into dark corners or behind furniture means new spiders are on the way. One sac can hold hundreds of babies.
Webs Near Lights & High-Traffic Areas
Spiders build webs near lights because that is where bugs hang out. If you are seeing webs around the outside lights or the light fittings inside, spiders are using those spots to catch food.
Sudden Increase in Activity
Seeing way more spiders than usual when it gets warm or humid out? That is normal. They get more active when the weather heats up because the bugs they eat do too.
DIY Sprays Aren't Working
If you've tried sprays or traps and spiders keep coming back, the problem is bigger than what you can handle on your own.

See Bryanston page
Douglasdale, Gauteng
Most homes here sit in complexes, where one unit with a problem quickly becomes four. We look at the shared walls and drains, not just your flat.
See Douglasdale page
Roodepoort, Gauteng
Older houses out west have the gaps and roof voids that rats love. We find where they are getting in and close it off.
See Roodepoort page

Living near a busy restaurant strip means roaches have somewhere to breed all year. We treat homes and small shops around Grant Avenue.
See Norwood page
Saxonwold, Gauteng
Old homes with wooden floors, big roofs and mature gardens need a careful hand. We work around your finishes and your pets.
See Saxonwold page

See Linksfield page
Kyalami, Gauteng
Bigger plots and stables bring rats, flies and fleas closer to the house than most owners expect. We cover the outbuildings too.
See Kyalami page

Brixton, Gauteng
The older houses on the hill have plenty of cracks and cavities for roaches to sit in. We treat where they live, not just where you see them.
See Brixton page
Soweto, Gauteng
Houses sit close together and uncollected refuse feeds the rats, so treating one yard alone rarely holds. We plan the job around that.
See Soweto page
Protea Glen, Gauteng
Newer homes on small stands, where rats move along the boundary walls from one yard to the next. We seal the runs as well as treating.
See Protea Glen page
Berea, Gauteng

Got a question we did not answer? Give us a call and we will be happy to help.
Store bought sprays usually only kill the spiders you see right then. Spiders are really good at hiding in dark corners, behind furniture, and inside walls, so you have to reach the nests and egg sacs to stop them from coming back. We use treatments that get to the root of the problem so they actually stay gone.
Yes, totally safe for everyone once it dries. We use gentle, pet friendly products that only go after the bugs, not your kids or animals.
You will start seeing a big difference within a few days. You might notice a few spiders coming out of hiding spots soon after treatment, but that just means it is working and flushing them out.
Most of the time, you can stay right at home. Our treatments do not fill the room with bad smells or harsh fumes. If we ever need you to step out for a bit, we will always let you know well ahead of time.
It is really frustrating, but having spiders does not mean your house is dirty. They come inside looking for a warm spot and something to eat, which is usually other bugs. They sneak in through tiny cracks around windows and doors. If there are other insects in your house, spiders will follow them in.
Nope. We do not believe in locking people into contracts. We will take care of your spider problem and if you want, we can set up a plan to keep them from coming back. But that is always up to you.
Just give us a call. We want to make sure your home stays spider free. If they show up again before your next planned visit, we will come back out and take care of it for free.
