Pest Control : Sydney White-tailed spider

Distribution:
The White tailed spider is found on the Eastern side of Australia.

Habitat:

The White-tailed Spider is usually found under rocks and bark and logs, where it is an active, nocturnal hunter. It builds no web of its own but will approach those made by other spiders, feeling at the outside of the web. This web disturbance lures the prey spider from its retreat onto the web, where it is stalked and bitten by the White tailed spider. The White-tailed Spider is often seen in older houses and sheds, whose cracks and crevices, as well as the plentiful supply of insects and spiders, make them good places to hunting.

Appearance:
White-tailed spiders are easily recognized by their long black or greyish body and white marking at the tip of the abdomen they are about 1.0cm-1.5 cm in length.
