At Spiderman SE Eco Pest Management, we’re proud to be a local, family-run team built on trust, knowledge and genuine care for our community. While you might only see one technician arrive at your home or business, there’s a whole crew working behind the scenes to make sure every job runs smoothly. From pest technicians and beekeepers to admin, systems and the friendly voices answering your calls, every member of the team plays a part in delivering the honest, professional service we’re known for across the South East of South Australia and South West Victoria.
Together we provide residential and commercial pest management, termite inspections and treatments, and ethical honeybee relocation services throughout Mount Gambier, the Limestone Coast and the wider Green Triangle region.
Michael Cutting
Director | Timber Pest Inspector | Pest Management Technician
Michael is Mount Gambier born and bred. In 2013 he took a leap of faith, leaving behind a 20-year career as an analyst at the local Carter Holt Harvey dry mill to step into the world of pest management and small business ownership.
With his love of a good yarn, a rock-solid work ethic and a genuine passion for customer service, Michael has been a driving force behind Spiderman SE from day one. He’s fully qualified and licensed to manage both General and Timber Pests across SA and VIC and is listed on the AEPMA Timber Pest Inspectors Register.
Mick can sniff out a termite faster than a kelpie can find a stick, and when it comes to timber pest reports his attention to detail leaves your average tick-and-flick job for dead. His inspections are thorough, his reporting is clear and honest, and his goal is always to give customers the full picture, not just the bare minimum.
If you’re from the South East, chances are Mick knows you, your neighbour, or your cousin - and probably did their termite inspection too. His reputation for honesty, hard work and straight-talking service is well known across the region.
When he’s not chasing termites, you’ll likely find him out on the golf course convincing himself the next shot will be the good one.
You’ll catch him out on the road in the SPIDR8 Spiderman SE ute, helping protect homes and businesses across the South East.
Sarah Cutting
General Manager | Beekeeper | Pest Management Technician
Also born and raised in Mount Gambier, Sarah is the glue that holds Spiderman SE together. Part administrator, part pest technician, part beekeeper and full-time perfectionist, she manages the day-to-day operations and quietly makes sure everything - and everyone - is up to scratch.
Sarah holds a Certificate IV in Business Administration, a Certificate III in Beekeeping and is a fully qualified Pest Management Technician. She is currently studying a Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety to further strengthen the systems and safety culture within the business.
Sarah is passionate about supporting the pest management industry and promoting opportunities for women within it. She currently serves as the Chair of the South Australian branch of the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association (AEPMA) and is actively involved in both AEPMA and AWPMA initiatives.
Sarah also leads the business’s bee work through Swarm SE Eco Bee Management, supporting ethical honeybee relocations and spending plenty of time processing beeswax and honey from rescued colonies.
A self-confessed nerd, Sarah thrives on structure, detail and getting things just right. Her standards are sky-high and, yes, she knows they sometimes drive the boys a bit mad. But when your husband’s face is plastered on the side of the van, good enough simply doesn’t cut it.
She runs on strong coffee, colour-coded Google calendars and email accounts, and an unhealthy attachment to her label maker and laminator. There’s also not a conversation she won’t find a way to slip a random bee fact into.
You’ll find her in the office with 50 tabs open and a plan for everything, or out on the road chasing bee swarms in the SWARM1 MINI or SWARM2 Van.
Sam Shaw
Pest Management Technician | Beekeeper
Sam joined the team in June 2020 and quickly proved himself as an absolute natural. With his big smile and easy-going nature, Sam’s the kind of guy who puts customers at ease and gets the job done to a high standard every time.
Born and raised in Mount Gambier, Sam is a perfect fit for Spiderman SE. His strong work ethic, initiative and positive attitude were clear from day one and continue to shine through in everything he does.
He’s our resident bee whisperer and a go-to problem solver. With his knowledge as both an experienced pest manager and beekeeper, Sam plays a big role in the work we do through Swarm SE, helping determine when bees can be safely saved and relocated rather than treated as pests.
When it comes to bee rescues, we’re a great team. While Sarah handles swarm collections and settling bees into their new homes, Sam has the strength and know-how to reach bees in complex or awkward locations that others simply can’t.
Outside of work, Sam is rarely sitting still - between footy, triathlon training and general fitness he’s usually preparing for the next challenge.
You’ll find Sam out on the road in the SPIDR7 ute delivering pest services or wrangling bees alongside Sarah when a swarm call comes in.
Kody Shaw
Pest Management Technician
Kody became a full-time member of the Spiderman SE team in January 2022 after impressing us during his work experience placement in 2021. From the start, it was clear he had exactly the qualities we value in our team - reliability, professionalism and a genuine commitment to doing things properly.
He is a fully qualified Pest Management Technician and also holds a Certificate III in Business. Whether he’s working alongside Michael or Sam or handling jobs independently, Kody brings a calm, capable approach to every service.
He has the quiet confidence of someone twice his age and a memory like a steel trap. He’ll remember what pests were spotted, which treatment was used and probably your dog’s name months later.
And while his days are spent in work boots and hi-vis, don’t let that fool you - Kody has a surprisingly sharp eye for fashion and quite possibly the best wardrobe in the team.
You’ll catch him out on the road in the SPIDR9 Spiderman SE ute, continuing to deliver the high standards we’re known for.
Jayden Agnew
Pest Management Technician | Systems & Compliance Support
Jayden joined Spiderman SE in May 2025 initially to help tackle some of the special projects behind the scenes, improving systems, tracking inventory and supporting PestCert compliance.
Before long though, he found himself spending more and more time out in the field alongside the technicians, learning the ropes and getting stuck into the practical side of pest management. These days you’ll most often find Jayden out on the road delivering pest services alongside the team, with the occasional day back in the office helping refine systems and processes.
Jayden also brings a strong connection to beekeeping. With beekeepers in his family going back three generations, he has a natural interest in honeybees and enjoys being involved in the bee relocation work we do through Swarm SE.
His ability to understand both the hands-on field work and the systems behind the business helps bridge the gap between how the work happens on site and how the business runs day-to-day.
Jessie Pratt
Administrator – Special Projects
Jessie is one of the organisational powerhouses behind the scenes at Spiderman SE. Bold, sassy and absolutely hilarious, she somehow manages to herd the cats that make up our team and keep everything moving in the right direction.
Working closely with Sarah, Jessie has an uncanny knack for calming the whirlwind inside her head and turning ideas into action. Whether she’s managing projects, designing in Canva or keeping the team accountable, Jessie helps make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Before joining Spiderman SE, Jessie spent more than a decade as a cook at one of Mount Gambier’s favourite hotel restaurants, earning herself a reputation as a bit of a culinary extraordinaire. Those skills haven’t gone to waste either - Jessie is the creative mastermind behind Swarm SE’s infused honey range.
Around the office, Jessie’s sharp wit, confidence and straight-talking humour keep the team organised and the laughs flowing.
Jonas Espinosa
Service Coordinator
Jonas is the friendly voice you’ll most likely hear when you call Spiderman SE. He’s the one answering your questions, helping with bookings and making sure customers get the information they need quickly and clearly.
In mid-2025, we moved away from a traditional off-site reception service after struggling with inconsistent service due to constant staff turnover. Instead, we brought reception into the business so we could train someone properly in the Spiderman SE way.
Jonas is trained directly by Sarah and works closely with the entire team to make sure every customer receives the same knowledgeable and professional service we’re known for.
Funny, organised and incredibly switched on, Jonas has mastered our systems and helps customers book services and receive pricing faster than ever before. He checks in with the team daily and keeps everything moving smoothly behind the scenes.
Jonas has also completed General Pest and Timber Pest training courses with Rapid Training, so he’s well across the pests and the issues we see in our local patch of South Australia and Western Victoria.
Jonas works closely with the entire Spiderman SE crew every day and plays an important role in making sure our customers receive the friendly, knowledgeable service we’re known for.
