Funnel-web spiders are regarded as some of the most dangerous spiders in the world. Their bite is painful; and their venom acts fast and is highly toxic. A venomous bite will attack your central nervous system, and will quickly shock and shut down your bodily functions. Safety is crucial when you have funnel-web spiders within your vicinity.
Typically, funnel-web spider season starts around summer. But, with the recent dry spell, it took the recent rains to bring them out. Their season is finally here and you need to take steps to ensure you and your loved ones’ safety.

Catch them safely, and then place then in ventilated sealed jars for the park to process.
However, your safety should be your foremost concern. If you are unsure of how to safely catch these spiders, get the help of professionals. Pest control services, such as Safe Spray, will help you safely extract funnel-web spiders from your premises.
