The roof void is a big, dark, quiet space that many spiders call home. In older timber homes across Brisbane, the gaps around tin roofs, gable vents and eaves give huntsman spiders and others an easy way in. From there they come down through downlight gaps, manholes and cornices into bedrooms and living areas.
A roof void spider treatment is done with a fine dust spread across the ceiling space using a puffer or blower. Dust settles on beams, insulation and ledges, and spiders walking through it are affected over the next few days. Because the dust stays dry and in place, it keeps working in the roof void for longer than a spray would in an open area.

- Check for signs of heavy spider activity
- Advice on sealing gaps around downlights and vents
Before the visit, clear the area under the manhole so the crew can set up a ladder, and move anything stored directly around the hatch. The crew will need a manhole large enough to get through and enough space in the roof to move about. If your roof void is very low or hard to reach, tell us on the phone and we will pass that on.
Roof void work is often paired with an outdoor spray so spiders are reduced where they enter and where they shelter. Upfront pricing is given on the phone before booking. To book roof void spider treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7772 and we will line up a nearby crew.
