Hi All

 

We leave for Perth in 2 weeks and need to reassure my family that the Red Back Spider is hardly seen and they wont hurt you unless provoked. I know theres snakes etc but as far as I know they are not seen very often.

 

Thanks

Hi, we've been here about 16 months now, and honestly we've seen 1 redback, that was living under our BBQ!!! & although I hate to kill spiders it had to be sprayed! Cockroaches are far more common, but completely harmless to us, they meka a lovely crunching sound when you tread on them!!!!! LOL

Have seen a Brown snake at Joondalup lake and had a close encounter with a stingray at Trigg beach!

 

Hope this helps!!!???

Keep your huntsmen, they are your best friend when it comes to cockroaches and most spiders, huntsmen love em, we have never had problems with cockroaches when we have a few huntsmen about, they rarely bite, only if really provoked. When it comes to redbacks theres no worries there either, really placid and beautiful little things in their own way, and they keep down the mozzies,wasps kill more people in the UK each year than have been killed by redbacks in the whole of european settlement, now just be thankful you dont live east and have to put up funnelwebs each spring.

Hi Lee

I've been here nearly a year and have only seen 2 !! you know what they look like and just leave them alone, or squash them with ya shoe !! Snakes not seen one yet, but we live in Jindalee, so not sure you'll get many up here !!

hope it helps

If you look they are there. When we were in our rental which had been vacant for awhile i saw 6 in four days, all outside though. You would have to be very unlucky to get bitten by one. In my job i've put my hand on a couple accidently and haven't been bitten.......yet!

Only seen one Hunstman, although a friend of mine did get bitten by one the other day. No snakes as yet.

Hi Lee,

We have been here 5 years never seen a snake , only one huntsman and yes a few red backs outside , a couple of cockroaches outside, its really not that bad. I personally dont think you get any more bugs in your house here than we did in Scotland
