They are secretive, brown, and wear a distinctive, dark, fiddle design on their backs.
Brown recluse spiders occur in our area, but even where they are common, people don't often find them.
They prefer quiet nooks and crannies in buildings and woodlands.
And like all spiders, brown recluses avoid human contact.
In fact, the brown recluse might go entirely unnoticed, except that its bite can cause people serious medical problems.

  • Yea, i was told not ...

    Yea, i was told not to kill wolf spiders. Because, they kill Brown Recluses and Black Widows.I have seen a lot of comments that say Brown Recluse bites are not deadly. Not long ago, there was a boy from Alabama that got bitten in the head. What happened was the spider was hiding in his helmet. He died two weeks later. I dont know, those things scare the crap out of me. Can not sleep at night, thinking there is one crawling in my bed. I need to buy some spider traps or need to get pest control.

  • you can't realy ...

    you can't realy compare those two spiders. Widows use venom and recluse use poison. Widows will affect yuor nervous system but will leave only small markings on the location of the bite while recluse will leave a very nasty hole at the location of the bite but will have almost no effect on your system.

  • The recluse will ...

    The recluse will rarely bite.You almost have to press it against the skin to cause said bite and many times the bite does not cause the major medical problems.I was bit by one over 9 months ago and I only received a small scar about the size of a dime.

    My bf had a Brown Recluse lay eggs in his bedroom and luckily he found all of the spiders and killed them before anybody got bitten! This is one spider that you don't want to mess with, trust me!

  • Killed one at work ...

    Killed one at work last week probably saved a hospital visit for somebody.

    I know that spider well enough not to let it populate our warehouse and be a threat.

    I won't kill wolf spiders, and we already know black widows are in our building.

    It is so rare to see a recluse that if you see one just kill it. You really could be preventing serious injury. I love spiders but I am also not stupid enough to let one go and wonder around people. They are dangerous.
