Redback spiders (Latrodectus hasselti) belong to the Family Theridiidae, which is found worldwide. Female Redback Spiders are black (occasionally brownish) with an obvious orange to red longitudinal stripe on the upper abdomen, with the red stripe sometimes being broken, and an "hourglass" shaped red/orange spot on the underside of the abdomen. 

Huntsman spiders are large, long-legged spiders. They are mostly grey to brown, sometimes with banded legs. Many huntsman spiders, especially Delena (the flattest), and including Isopeda, Isopedella and Holconia, have rather flattened bodies adapted for living in narrow spaces under loose bark or rock crevices.

Golden Orb Weaving Spiders are large spiders with silvery-grey to plum coloured bodies and brown-black, often yellow banded legs.

Daddy-long-legs spiders are easily recognised by their extremely long, skinny legs and small body. Pholcus phalangioides has a brown patch on its pale carapace and a cream to pale brown, lightly patterned abdomen.

The Black House Spider (Badumna insignis) is a dark robust spider, with grey hairs usually visible on the carapace. Females are larger than males but there is a great range in adult sizes. The carapace and legs are dark brown to black, and the abdomen is charcoal grey with a dorsal pattern of white markings (sometimes indistinct).

Roof rats have a head and body length of 165- 205 mm, a tail length of 185-245 mm and a body weight of 95-340 g. It's tail is longer than its body which makes it easy to identify. It has relatively large eyes and ears. Its colour ranges from black to light brown.

House mice have a combined head and body length of 60-95 mm, a tail length of 75-95 mm and a weight of 10-25 g. They have a slender body, a pointed nose with fairly large ears and a fur colour of brown to grey.

Brown rats are stocky, with scruffy brown fur, small eyes, short ears and a short, thick tail. They have a combined head and body length of 180-255 mm, a tail length of 150-215 mm and a weight of 200-400g.

Mosquitoes can be found in a variety of environments but are often found in areas with water sources. The mosquito can exploit a range of fresh and salt water sources – natural or artificial - for breeding habitats.

Sciarid (family Sciaridae) are an extremely widespread family of small flies. They are small delicate black flies about 3 mm long with long antennae and legs. The larvae are legless, about 4-5 mm long when fully grown, and have clear segmented bodies and black heads.

Adult huncback flies are small to minute in size with a relatively large thorax, hence the common name of “Hunchback” flies. The hunchback fly larvae are commonly found in large numbers in decomposing organic matter and scavenging in carrion. The flies can be found on premises around pot plants or garden beds.

Adult house flies are commonly found in domestic dwellings and are often seen trying to land on your dinner plate. The larvae can be found in the excrement of animals and also in decomposing organic matter e.g. compost heaps.
