Natural Spider Repellents vs. Professional Treatment

Peta Stewart • November 14, 2025

Are you unsure whether natural remedies are enough to handle spiders in your home, or if it’s time to call in the professionals? 


Many Perth homeowners try sprays, oils, or homemade solutions to keep spiders at bay, only to find them crawling back weeks later. While natural repellents can help in the short term, they often don’t address the root of the problem — especially when it comes to dangerous species. If you want lasting results, expert support is key.
Stewarts Pest Control has been helping families keep your home spider-free in Perth for decades with proven solutions.



The Benefits of Professional Spider Treatment


Targeting the Root of the Problem


Unlike natural repellents, professional treatment doesn’t just deter spiders temporarily — it targets them at the source. Experienced pest control technicians are trained to locate nesting sites, egg sacs, and the hidden areas where spiders thrive. By addressing the root of the infestation, professional treatments provide lasting results that home remedies simply cannot achieve.



Handling Dangerous Species Safely


In Perth, homeowners often encounter venomous spiders such as redbacks, white-tailed spiders, and even the occasional huntsman. While some species are relatively harmless, others pose serious risks to health and safety. Attempting to handle these spiders without expertise can be dangerous. That’s why it pays to rely on professionals who are trained in identifying species and applying the correct treatments safely. With their knowledge, you can be confident the job is handled thoroughly and without unnecessary risk.



Safe for Families and Pets


One of the biggest concerns for homeowners is whether spider treatments are safe for children and pets. Modern treatment methods are designed with safety in mind. Professional pest control services use products and techniques that effectively eliminate spiders while keeping your household protected. This peace of mind is something natural repellents alone cannot guarantee.



Reliable Results You Can Trust


When you hire Perth’s expert spider exterminators, you’re investing in proven strategies backed by years of experience. At Stewarts Pest Control, our team understands Perth’s unique spider challenges and tailors treatments to suit your property. From thorough inspections to customised treatment plans, we ensure your home is protected from both minor infestations and recurring problems. Professional treatment provides reliability and peace of mind, giving you confidence that your spider issue has been resolved properly, not just temporarily suppressed.


Comparing Natural Repellents vs. Professional Treatments


Cost and Accessibility


Natural repellents are often attractive because of their low cost and easy availability. A few drops of peppermint oil or a spray bottle of vinegar can be prepared in minutes, making them convenient for homeowners to try. Professional treatments, on the other hand, involve booking an appointment and investing in a service. While this may seem more costly upfront, the investment provides longer-lasting protection and eliminates the need for repeated DIY efforts.


Convenience and Effort


While natural remedies can be applied quickly, they require ongoing effort. Scents fade, sprays wear off, and applications need to be repeated regularly to remain effective. This can be frustrating and time-consuming for homeowners. Professional treatments, however, are carried out with precision and provide results that last. A single visit from an exterminator can offer weeks or months of protection, with minimal effort required from you.


Effectiveness in Real Situations


The biggest difference between natural repellents and professional treatment is effectiveness. Natural options may deter a few spiders from entering or nesting, but they do not eliminate existing infestations or target egg sacs. Professional services, however, are designed to fully eradicate the problem. When you engage experts for effective spider treatments for your property, you gain access to proven techniques that remove spiders at every stage of their lifecycle, ensuring a thorough solution.




Long-Term Peace of Mind


Ultimately, natural repellents can serve as short-term aids but fall short when it comes to long-term protection. Professional treatment provides consistency, reliability, and results that homeowners can trust. Rather than continuously battling spiders with DIY methods, investing in professional support ensures your home remains safe and comfortable. This balance of immediate relief and long-lasting protection makes professional treatments the smarter choice for anyone serious about keeping their home spider-free.
