Redbacks are small, shy spiders with a black body and a red or orange stripe on the back. They are one of the spiders people worry about most, especially with young children and pets playing in the yard. We take bookings for redback spider control in Brisbane and send a nearby independent crew that checks all the usual hiding spots, from letterboxes to the space under the house.
Redbacks like dry, sheltered and undisturbed spots close to the ground. Their webs are messy and tangled, often with a funnel shaped retreat, and you may see small round egg sacs nearby. The crew we book checks the common hiding spots around your home, treats them and clears webs they can reach. They also look at spots where children play, like cubby houses, sandpits and swing sets.
- Letterboxes, electricity boxes and garden taps
- Pot plant rims, garden edges and stacked bricks
- Pool fences, outdoor furniture and barbecue areas
- Sheds, garages, cubby houses and play equipment
- The space under Queenslanders and raised decks
After the treatment, keep an eye on these spots and wear gloves when gardening or moving stored items. Shake out shoes and gloves left outside. Clearing clutter like old pots, timber and bricks from against the house also gives redbacks fewer places to settle. If you find a redback, do not try to squash it with bare hands. Use a long handled broom or leave it for the crew.
Redbacks are most active in the warmer months, and numbers can build up quickly in quiet corners of the yard. If you have spotted them around your home in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7770 for upfront pricing and a booking with the local crew.
