More Info on Spiders
It is difficult to determine how many species of spiders live in and around Hobart. Some species originate from Tasmania, whilst many reside in mainland Australia and overseas.
Having one or two spiders in your home is not such a big issue, in fact they can act as a natural pest control, by eating flies, moths and other flying insects.
Its important to note that ground hunting spiders (i.e spiders that do not create webs) are very difficult to control, this is due to their dynamic and mobile nature.
