Brown recluse love quite dark places. Garages or dark basements or crawl spaces clutter is also favorite like boxes full of crap. What they don't like is lots of activity and commotion. With as many, you are traping id shake out clothes and footwear before putting on. They are hard to kill because fumigation cant often reach them and their egg pockets block out pesticides to where you fumigate and a whole new batch hatches.
Honestly the only solution I see is going to an army surplus see it they have a flame thrower and some jellied gas. [Reply]

Exactly !! And spray "Home defense" on the interior and exterior of your home and you won't see these insects invading let alone alive in your home. This stuff rocks!! [Reply]

One of these crawling on the wall.
I wanted to capture it, have a pet, nope, she wanted it dead, so....crunch!
Holy shit I totally forgot about Brave Wilderness. That dude is one crazy mother ****er. He goes out of his way to get stung and bitten by poisonous bugs. [Reply]
The house in Belton I grew up in had these bitches real bad! One got me on my knee in the middle of the night when I was 8. Sneaky fucker! Sick as dog for the longest time on that one [Reply]
Hats off to you all in the midwest and elsewhere that have real spiders. Here in Ca we only have black widows but there is no accidentally running into them. Their webs are ridiculously easy to spot and stay away from or if you accidentally grab their web it feels like static electricity so you know immediately to yank your hand out. Our tarantulas are big but harmless..... [Reply]

Nice and tidy execution.

This is what a good exterminator should do. Suck up visible webs egg sacks in nooks and crannies then take to a burn pit and humanely return to nature:-) [Reply]

Nevada has an abundance of those SOBs. Worked on a project there first evening in the room after long day work I fill out my timesheet on the desk with my laptop. All sudden this big ass black shiny spider drops from its web behind picture frame. Hangs there stretching its legs its diameter of a nickel and has the red hourglass on its back. I look for something to smash it with before it slips away and nothing handy. I quickly remove my work boot and line up and smack him it drops to the carpet. I look everywhere for its remains to no avail which really gives me the eby jeebies. My boots are cleated with Vibram soles so figure it got lucky. Go to bet after shaking out sheets. next morning carrying equipment out to truck I find dead black widow in doorsill. It was my first of many encounters with these pests in Northern Nevada. [Reply]
