Huntsman spiders are large and fast-moving, which makes them alarming, but they pose no medical risk to adults, children, or pets.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should I kill huntsman spiders?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Killing huntsman spiders is not necessary and arguably counterproductive. Huntsman spiders eat insects and other spiders including redbacks. They are a natural part of Brisbane's ecosystem and beneficial in gardens and roof spaces. If you find one inside and want it removed, the glass-and-card method (trap it under a glass, slide card underneath, release outside) is the simplest approach. Professional treatment is available to reduce how often they come inside.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I get a huntsman spider out of my house?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Place a large glass or container over the spider. Slide a stiff card or piece of cardboard underneath to trap it. Take it outside and release it away from the house. Huntsman spiders move fast so a quick, confident action works better than a slow approach. Releasing them in the garden rather than killing them keeps them where they are beneficial.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is there a huntsman spider in my wardrobe?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Huntsman spiders enter homes seeking warmth, shelter, and food (insects). They flatten their bodies to squeeze through very small gaps around window frames, door seals, and roof penetrations. Wardrobes with clothing provide warmth and an undisturbed hiding spot. The spider is not seeking out your wardrobe specifically; it entered the house and found a quiet, dark space. Sealing entry points and keeping wardrobes well-ventilated reduces how often this happens.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do huntsman spiders eat other pests?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Huntsman spiders are active predators that eat cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and other household insects. In roof voids and subfloor areas, they also eat redback spiders. A huntsman in the roof space is doing genuine pest control work. Many Queensland pest control operators leave huntsman spiders undisturbed during general pest treatments for this reason.\"}}]}]}<\/script>\n\n<div class=\"rpc-hts\">\n<span class=\"da\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Huntsman spiders are large but not dangerous to humans. Their venom is not medically significant. They are common in Brisbane homes, particularly in wardrobes, behind paintings, and around windows. Control focuses on entry point exclusion and external harborage treatment rather than direct killing, as huntsman spiders are beneficial pest predators.

Huntsman spiders eat cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and other spiders including redbacks. A huntsman spider in the roof void or subfloor is actively reducing other pest populations in those areas. This is why many pest operators leave roof void huntsman populations undisturbed during general pest treatments. If your only concern is redback spiders, note that the huntsman population in your roof space may be contributing to keeping redback numbers lower.<\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"margin-top:20px;display:flex;gap:12px;flex-wrap:wrap\" class=\"rv\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/spiders\/\" style=\"font-size:13.5px;color:var(--g);font-weight:600;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:5px\">All Brisbane spider species <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/spiders\/redback-spider\/\" style=\"font-size:13.5px;color:var(--g);font-weight:600;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:5px\">Redback spider control <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"cta\" aria-label=\"Book huntsman spider treatment Brisbane\">\n  <div class=\"wrap cta-in\">\n    <div class=\"cta-txt\"><h2>Reduce Huntsman Invasions.
