Spider Spray Products
What is it? 
Spiders have a fearsome reputation for their nasty bites and scary appearance, with most Australian’s looking to get rid of them as soon as they’re spotted. Whilst it’s true that Australia has some of the most venomous spiders in the world, most spiders are not at all dangerous. Despite this, spiders cause considerable discomfort to so many homeowners, and it’s no surprise they’re the one pest most people cannot stand the sight of. It makes sense to want to keep spiders out of the home, especially if you have small children and pets around for peace of mind, if anything.
Fortunately, a combination of solid prevention strategies and effective pest control products such as spider spray can ensure that your spider problems are easily fixed. That being said, there’s nothing worse than spraying a spider with spider spray, only to see it skitter away and hide under a cupboard, leaving you unsure as to whether it’s dead or not.
As such, you’ll need to make sure you’re not using any old spider spray. When it comes to getting rid of spiders, you need a reliable, effective, and fast-acting spider spray that results in an instant kill. That’s where we come in.

Fly Spray Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Fly Spray Work on Spiders?
Fly spray is less effective than specialised spider spray. This is because the composition of a spider reacts differently to the chemicals inside fly spray than a typical fly or insect would. Insects habitually clean their mouthparts with their legs and feet, this means that spray pesticides are easily transferred to the insects’ mouth, where it is ingested. On the other hand, spiders have long legs that keep their bodies well above the surface, meaning there’s little chance of absorbing pesticide from surface contact.
As such, we recommend only using pest control products that have been proven to incapacitate spiders specifically. You can find our range of spider-killing sprays above.
Does Fly Spray Kill Huntsman Spiders?
When it comes to using fly spray on spiders, huntsman spiders are no different. For fast-acting results that you can be confident in, we recommend using spider spray. This is because spiders act differently to other insects in ingesting the chemicals within insect spray.
Will Flying Insect Spray Kill Spiders?
Yes, flying insect spray does kill spiders. Hovex’s Flying Insect Spray 350g provides fast action results that kill most flying and crawling insects. This spray can be used both inside and outside and is odourless. Spray directly at the spider for fast results.
How Often Should You Spray for Spiders?
When considering how often to spray for spiders, it is important to note that there are a multitude of different spiders that exist on different threat levels. It could be that you have a couple of spiders around the home that don’t bother anyone, or you could have a situation where you’re dealing with an extreme number of spiders that seem to be everywhere.
If you’re uncomfortable with the amount of spiders around, or have spotted a particular type of spider, you should spray for spiders immediately.
As a general rule of thumb, you should spray for spiders two to three times per year. Preventative treatment will ensure that any potential spider problem does not become as hard to deal with as it could be. Spider season in Australia typically occurs through the summer months as the temperature increases and the soil is still damp from winter rains. Aim to use spider spray around this time of year for maximum results.
