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.
You’ll catch him out on the road in the SPIDR8 Spiderman SE ute, saving the world one pest at a time.
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 tech, part beekeeper, and part perfectionist, she manages the daily operations, keeps the crew in line (just ask them), and quietly makes sure that 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’s also a proud advocate for women in the pest control industry, actively involved in both AEPMA and AWPMA.
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 utes, “good enough” just doesn’t cut it.
She runs on strong coffee, colour-coded Google calendars and inboxes, and an unhealthy attachment to her label maker and laminator. 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 Spiderman SE MINI.
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 he continues to deliver exceptional service 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 is often the one helping us figure out whether a situation calls for saving the bees or stepping in to safely manage them. When it comes to bee rescues, we’re a great team - while Sarah handles swarm collections and settling bees into their new homes, Sam’s got the strength and know-how to reach bees in complex or awkward spots that others can't.
Sam is a fully qualified Pest Management Technician and Beekeeper. You’ll find Sam out on the road in the SPIDR7 ute delivering general 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 get-go, it was clear Kody had something special. He’s reliable, personable, and committed to doing things properly.
He’s now a fully qualified Pest Management Technician and also holds a Certificate III in Business. Whether he’s out with Michael or Sam, or handling jobs solo, Kody brings professionalism, care and a calm, can-do attitude to every service.
He’s got 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 what the customer’s dog’s name was months later. He’s also a quick learner and has developed strong technical knowledge in a short time, earning the trust of both customers and the crew.
You’ll catch him in the SPIDR9 Spiderman SE ute, continuing to live up to the high standards we’re known for and often stepping up to lend a hand wherever it’s needed.
Jayden Agnew
Administrator - Special Projects
Jayden joined Spiderman SE in May 2025 and quickly got to work as our behind-the-scenes systems wizard, tackling the kind of projects that make life easier, safer and more organised for the whole team. Since coming on board, he’s been building systems to track inventory, manage PestCert compliance, and set up the digital frameworks we need to stay sharp, streamlined and audit-ready.
He’s also spent time out on the road with the boys, getting a first-hand look at how our services run in the real world. That on-the-ground insight helps him build better systems – ones that make reporting easier, smooth out admin, and ensure our customers get a consistent experience, no matter who visits.
Jayden’s got a sharp eye for detail, a head for tech, and a calm, methodical way of working that balances the chaos of a busy service-based business. He’s not just supporting the team – he’s actively shaping how we work behind the scenes.
He might not be on the tools every day, but his superpower is turning chaos into order – one clever system at a time.
