How To Get Rid of White Tail Spiders

There are many different types of spiders in Australia, but one of the most feared is the white-tail spider. White-tail spiders get their name from the white tip on their tail. They are also sometimes called white–tailed spiders. White-tail spiders are found throughout Australia but are most commonly found in the eastern states, from Queensland to Tasmania. The white-tail spider is a medium–sized spider, with a body length of up to 12 mm. The female spider is usually larger than the male. White-tail spiders are not aggressive, and will only bite humans if they feel threatened. If a white tail spider bites you, it is not usually harmful, but it can be very painful. If you are bitten by a white tail spider, you should wash the wound with soap and water, and apply an antiseptic cream. You should also see a doctor if you have any concerns. White-tail spiders are most active at night, and they often hide in dark places during the day. They are often found in clothes that have been left on the floor, or in bedding.

To avoid being bitten by a white-tail spider, you should: Wear long–sleeved shirts and long pants when you are outside, and check your clothing for spiders before you put it on. Shake out your clothes and bedding before you use them. Keep your house and garden tidy, and remove any spiders you find. If you do find a white tail spider in your home, you can catch it in a jar and release it outside.
