Raised homes are everywhere in Brisbane, and the space underneath is often used for storage, laundries, workbenches and parking. It is dry, shaded and full of stored items, which is exactly what redbacks look for. Many people only find out how many are living there when they move a box or reach for a garden tool.
Underhouse spider treatment covers the whole space beneath the home. The crew we book checks stumps, bearers, joists, stored items, laundry tubs and the gaps along the base of the walls. They remove reachable webs and egg sacs and treat the area with a residual spray or dust. Where the space is too low to walk in, dust can be blown in to reach the far corners.

Before the visit, move bikes, toys and anything you use often out of the way, and leave a clear path to the back of the space. If you have lots of stored boxes, try to leave gaps between them so the crew can treat around them. Keep pets away until the area is dry. When you call, tell us roughly how much headroom there is under the house.
Underhouse work is often booked together with a perimeter spray so the yard and walls are covered at the same visit. We give you upfront pricing before the crew is booked, and visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book underhouse spider treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7772.
