Brown Recluse& spiders?

Question

I found a brown recluse climbing up my bed canopy. I havnt been home and I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF UNDER MY BED. There must be spiders under there. ITs dark.

Im afraid to clean:( what do i do?

Answer 1

if you actually see a brown recluse in the open, there is a good chance there are more of them, i would call an exterminator. They will likely have a better hiding place than under your bed though (they won't like the movement of you getting in or out of the bed). More likely they will be in the walls or the attic. First make sure it was in fact a brown recluse.

they have a very distinct look, and you almost never see them in the open, hence "recluse". I have only seen one in my entire life, in which time I have seen many black widow spiders.

Answer 2

Ohh tough luck, I got bit by one of those and had to go to the hospital. Your best bet? Call pest control, ask them if 1. there's something you can do, and if not then 2. have them come out and look at it. But if you're smart, don't mess with anything under there, for all you know there can be a family of them. And if you get bit, take a picture of the spider (In case it's not actually a brown recluse and it can be worse) and then go to your doctor or a hospital, just to have it checked out. I have a permanent scar from my spider bite.

Answer 3

The Recluse is small, about 1/4", and almost a translucent light brown.
They can be deadly, but their venom is always harmful. Within hours a red spot will appear. It will eventually change to black and spread, indicating a serius infection.
Antibiotics are needed.

You should spray the area, but you may not kill all or none.
I would hesitate to sleep there until it's clear. You may just run it/them off. They are famous for bites at night. Try to locate all you can.
If you locate one or more, dead or alive, put it in a sealed jar for ID.

You may be wise to call an exterminator. They can use protection.

Answer 4

Just put on some gloves and long sleeves and
remoove each objest under the bed one my one
or if u have help you could move the bed completley.
incase that you are bitten just call 911 or something,poison control etc.

I think that it's urgent that you clean this area and rid it
of dangerous spiders.

last but not lease call t he exsterminator, or possibley
higher someone to do the job , maybe don't tell them that u saw a spider though but just to be careful ;)

i hope I was helpful to you

Answer 5

the spiders seem to love living in dark places where they are not disturbed much. Clutter under the bed is a nice place for them. Perhaps pull out the stuff under the bed and open any boxes and use bug bombs in the house.
