Redbacks are the spider most people in Brisbane want gone first. They are small, black and glossy, and the females carry the red or orange stripe on the back. They build messy, tangled webs in dry, sheltered spots close to the ground, and they are often found right where people put their hands, such as under chair arms, inside letterboxes and around the kids' sandpit.
When you book redback spider removal, the crew we book searches the yard for webs and egg sacs. Egg sacs are small, round and cream or pale brown, and a single female can leave several over summer. The crew removes webs and sacs they can reach, then treats the sheltered spots with a residual spray so spiders that return or hatch later cross treated surfaces.

Redbacks are most active from late spring to early autumn, which is when we get the most calls. If you have young kids or pets, it is worth booking before summer holidays when more time is spent in the backyard. During the visit, keep children and animals inside or away from the area being treated until it is dry.
We give you upfront pricing on the phone and can often set the visit for same-day or next-day where the run allows. After the visit, shake out shoes and gloves left outside and keep checking the spots the crew showed you. To book redback spider removal in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7772.
