Some one told me the other day that the only way they got action from their rental agent was to trap the insects in their case cockroaches causing the infestation and go to agents office and tip them on the agents desk...in the case of Redbacks though you may get arrested.

I think you may want to consider evacuating.

Just waiting for the agent to get back to us, if they're not lively I'm going to get someone round to do it and deduct it from their rent

We never see any redbacks or whitetails where we live (in the outer eastern Melbourne suburbs) We get a lot of praying mantises & lizards in the garden which may have something to do with it

. We have a lot of daddy longlegs – I read somewhere that they eat the poisonous spiders, so are to be encouraged. Someone at work lives in Caroline Springs – he says his house is full of whitetails – they find them all over the house, in the kids beds etc etc.

The cat catches & eats any huntsman that are brave enough to come into the house.

I haven't gone back through the posts on this thread, so apologies if this has already been mentioned:

For those still in the (y)UK, next weeks 'life in the undergrowth' (9.00 Wednesday BBC1) with my main man David Attenborough is all about spiders and silk - and yes, they do a piece on the Redback - check it out!!
