The space under a raised home is dark, dry and seldom disturbed, which makes it a favourite spot for redbacks, daddy long-legs, cockroaches and rodents. Many older homes in Chermside are highset at one end or raised on stumps all the way along, and the area underneath often ends up full of stored gear, timber and garden tools, giving pests even more cover.
When you book a subfloor treatment, the crew we book goes under the house, clears webs and egg sacs from stumps and bearers, and treats the ground and framing where pests shelter. Where rodent signs are found, bait stations can be set in places pets and children cannot reach.

Before the visit, move as much stored gear as you can away from the stumps and walls, and wear gloves while doing it, since redbacks often hide among stored items. If the underfloor area is very low or closed in, mention it on the phone so we can book a crew with the right gear. Decks can be treated the same way where there is room to reach under them.
Subfloor work is often added to a spider control visit, since the space under the house is where many of the spiders around the home are living. We give upfront pricing on the phone before anyone comes out. For a subfloor pest treatment in Chermside, call 07 3543 7772.
