Many older homes around Brisbane sit on stumps, with open space or a lattice covered area underneath. That shady, dry space is a favourite for redbacks, huntsmen and black house spiders, especially when it is used for storing timber, garden gear, bikes and old furniture. We take bookings for subfloor spider treatment and send a nearby independent crew that works under Queenslanders, workers cottages and other raised homes.
The crew we book checks the space under the house with a torch, looking at stumps, bearers, joists, lattice, stored items and the edges of the slab or ground. They treat the stumps and timber framing, the back of lattice panels and the areas around stored items. Where the subfloor is tight or enclosed, they may use a dust in hard to reach corners.

Before the visit, clear a path under the house so the crew can move around, and shift items stored hard against the stumps if you can. Wear gloves when moving anything, as redbacks often hide in stacked items and the handles of old tools.
Families who use the space under the house for play, laundry or storage often book a subfloor treatment each year. Raised decks and verandahs can be treated the same way. For subfloor spider treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7770 for upfront pricing and a booking with the local crew.
