A bit worrying that, usually they're only out the Ranches, Motor City etc. What did he do to get rid of them?

Redback spiders sadly suffer from an huge overreaction from people. Very few will have a serious reaction if bitten. If you start seeing Black Widows or Funnel webs - then there's a problem.
agreed, but when you have a landlord that deals with the problem without argument, i'm dealing with the problem. I have a four year old with fingers into everything!

There's an all insect Pif Paf and Raid. Choits, Union and Spinneys have them all. Have a look at this too http://pestspro.com/page343.html
And just keep kitty out of the area for a couple of days. Oh yes and the kids
Sweep up the dead ones immediately as you don't want her sniffing or eating them accidentally as they will still have the pesticides in them. The pest control companies basically use stronger industrial versions of what's in these products.
Try to see if you can find the nest.
Wear a mask when spraying.
I think I've tapped out my FM advice there
- good luck......... And the tortoise. Oh yes, we seem to be a home for all the waifs and strays, now!There's an all insect Pif Paf and Raid. Choits, Union and Spinneys have them all.

Seems you have your work cut out for you this weekend hehe
I've had so many tortoises here. They wander in and we feed them then they seems to just disappear as mysteriously as they arrived! The best was the iguana tho!!
planning to get the spray, and also give the tobacco spray a go, too.
keen to avoid too many chemicals if it stays as regular as this.
Was reading that like many spiders they come in as nippers on the wind, so if the area has a good number, you are never going to be able to fully eradicate them.
hey ho - we'll see what happens!
