Penrith is home to some of Australia's most venomous spiders including Redbacks and Funnel-webs. Here's how to keep them out of your home.
The Penrith and Western Sydney region is home to a wide variety of spiders — from harmless daddy long legs to the highly venomous Sydney Funnel-web. Knowing which spiders pose a risk and how to control them is essential for keeping your family safe.
The Sydney Funnel-web is considered one of the world’s most dangerous spiders and is found throughout the greater Sydney region including Penrith and the Blue Mountains. The Redback spider is also common in Penrith — found under garden furniture, in letterboxes and in dry sheltered areas. Both require immediate medical attention if a bite occurs.
You’re likely to encounter Huntsman spiders inside the home (harmless but alarming), White-tailed spiders in gardens and under bark, Black house spiders in window frames and eaves, and Wolf spiders in lawns and garden beds. While most are not medically significant, professional treatment keeps all spider populations under control.
The real cost of doing nothing
Small pest problems rarely stay small in Penrith's climate. Cockroaches can contaminate food areas, rodents can damage wiring and insulation, and termites can keep eating structural timber long before the damage is visible. A proactive inspection or treatment costs a fraction of a major infestation.

Our technicians remove all accessible webs and egg sacs before applying a long-lasting residual barrier spray to eaves, window frames, door frames, fence lines, garden borders and subfloor areas. This creates a perimeter that spiders cannot cross without picking up the insecticide. Treatment is typically effective for 6–12 months.
If you have spotted a Funnel-web or Redback, particularly near play areas or inside the home, call us immediately. We also recommend a professional barrier spray after heavy rain (which washes away barriers and drives spiders indoors) or if you regularly see spiders inside.
Don’t leave your family’s safety to chance. Penrith Pest Control provides professional spider treatments across Penrith, Glenmore Park, Emu Plains, the Blue Mountains and all of Western Sydney. Call us on 0400 733 222 or book online today.
