Question

I have baby REDBACKS in and around my car, the parents too, over 200 of them... what do i do???? pls help!!!!!

Answer 1

I hope this helps I researched it on the web I would also call a exterminator.

Redbacks are common in urban habitats such as garden sheds, under steps or logs and around swimming pools or piles of rubbish. They build webs in dry, sheltered sites, often with the upper part of the web hidden from sunlight. The spider hides in a funnel-shaped retreat at the top of the web. The lower part of the web consists of a forest of mostly vertical, sticky catching threads.

Treatment

Surface sprays applied directly will kill Redback Spiders. However treatment must be repeated often to deal with spiders which are carried in on the wind. Such insecticides will also affect many non-target species.

An effective way of controlling Redbacks is to carry out regular inspections of suitable Redback habitats, searching for spiders and their webs. The spiders may be removed by pushing a stick into the back of the web and twisting the web, spider and any egg sacs around it. If all the webs on a property are removed, new arrivals will quickly become apparent by the presence of new webs.

Precautions

As Redbacks generally make their webs under some form of shelter, they are often not seen. Check any potential web sites before putting your hands there. Wear gloves when gardening.

Australian version of the Black Widow spiders that live in temperate zones around the world. Female Red Backs grow to 12 mm and the male to 3 mm. Red-backs are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and can live in an empty metal can or under a sheet of iron that is too hot from the sun to touch by hand.

Redbacks are non-aggressive unless threatened and most bites are due to accidental contact. The female with a shiny dark or black body and bright red stripe makes her look as dangerous as she is. Don't poke your fingers into places where you cannot see. 13 fatalities were recorded as due to Redback bites prior to 1980.
