Brown Reculse spiders?

[minendo]

Any way to effectively treat for these? I've killed two already in my new place in the past three days.

RUN! That is about all you can do. RUN!

 

[paulney]

obligatory: nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

 

[zerocool84]

Nuke your new house.

Only way to be sure.

 

[gorcorps]

Make sure you get those fuckers. My sister was bitten by one when she was quite young and her ear almost had to be taken off to stop the spreading flesh ailments. It was gross

 

[xanis]

No, but really..... nukes. From orbit.

 

[Jeff7]

Fire, then move to some other part of the country where they don't have that kind of thing.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Just let them feed on your flesh.

Recluse spiders build irregular webs that frequently include a shelter consisting of disorderly threads. These spiders frequently build their webs in woodpiles and sheds, closets, beds, garages, plenum, cellars and other places that are dry and generally undisturbed. They seem to favor cardboard when dwelling in human residences, possibly because it mimics the rotting tree bark which they inhabit naturally. They also tend to be found in shoes, inside dressers, in bed sheets of infrequently used beds, in stacks of clothes, behind baseboards, behind pictures and near furnaces. The common source of human-recluse contact is during the cleaning of these spaces, when their isolated spaces are suddenly disturbed and the spider feels threatened. Unlike most web weavers, they leave these webs at night to hunt. Males will move around more when hunting, while the female spiders tend to remain nearer to their webs.

fyi

for those who are not familiar with Brown Recluse Spiders, I highly recommend looking up images of what their bite is capable of doing

you'll quickly become familiar with them =)

 

[schneiderguy]

They'll get you before you get them.

You guys are all talking about Recluse spiders, but OP is asking about 'Reculse' spiders. Those are actually not harmful at all. Funny little buggers! Make for great pets.

fyi

they're fucking everywhere. this is exactly why a nuke from orbit is the only sure-fire method to eradicate the beasts from your home.

You're gonna die. Give up all hope.

Got pictures of the dead spiders? Maybe they aren't brown recluses.

Must have you wondering if you chose the right place...

I'd bomb the hell out of it, including the attic/basement, and would put window screen material over the air vents (particularly if its not a new-built place.)

Create a Fallout video game in your house.

I suggest you watch Arachniphobia (movie). Lots of useful info in there.

I don't have a picture of her rotten, bruised ear... sorry

Don't people ever use Wiki? You really shouldn't worry about it too much. Most Recluse bites are pretty much nothing more than irritating at worst, and the people who are effected the most are the ones with lowered immune systems like young children or older seniors. If you're that concerned why not call in a professional exterminator? The problem with eliminating spiders is that they're mainly good- and they get rid of all the other pests people don't want around. I don't really kill them, I basically just shoo them out of the way (since I have pets I put them outside to keep my cat from eating them ).
