Decks are great for outdoor living in Brisbane, but the space underneath is often dark, dry and hard to reach. Redbacks build in the gaps between boards, around posts and in the corners where the deck meets the house. Web builders string webs between pergola beams and deck railings, and outdoor settings stacked against the wall give spiders even more shelter.
Deck spider treatment focuses on the whole outdoor entertaining area. The crew we book treats under the deck where access allows, around posts, along the joins with the house, railings and steps, and up into pergola beams and roofing. Outdoor furniture, barbecue areas and pot plants on the deck are treated too, and reachable webs are brushed down.

Before the visit, clear cushions, tableware and anything used for food off the deck, and move furniture a little away from walls and railings. Keep pets and children off the deck until the treated surfaces are dry. If the deck is low to the ground with no access underneath, the crew may use a dust blown through the gaps between boards.
Deck treatments are popular in spring, before the outdoor entertaining season. Sweeping leaves out from between the boards and storing cushions inside when not in use also gives redbacks fewer places to settle between visits. We give you upfront pricing on the phone before booking. To book deck spider treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7772 and we will line up a nearby independent crew.
