Many homes in Caboolture sit up on stumps, from old timber Queenslanders near the town centre to highset homes on sloping blocks. The space underneath is dry, shaded and full of stumps, lattice, stored gear and timber, which makes it ideal shelter for redbacks, huntsmen and black house spiders. From there, spiders move up through gaps in the floor and walls into the living areas.
When you book subfloor spider treatment, the crew we book will look through the underfloor area for webs, nests and spider activity. They brush down webs they can reach, then treat the stumps, bearers, lattice, walls and stored items where spiders shelter. Under-house storage areas and laundries get attention too. The treatment is usually done alongside an exterior spray, so the spiders are dealt with both under and around the house. If the subfloor is also used as a laundry, workshop or play area, mention it when you book so the crew can tell you when it is okay to use it again.

Before the crew arrives, clear a path into the subfloor and move anything that blocks access to the far corners. Store items in sealed plastic tubs rather than cardboard boxes, which spiders and silverfish like to shelter in. Low subfloors with very little subfloor may only allow a partial treatment, and the crew will explain this on the day.
If spiders are coming up from under your home in Caboolture, call 07 3543 7767. Tell us about the height of the subfloor and what is stored there, and we will give you upfront pricing and book a local crew.
