BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER BITE ALERT 

   
About the Brown Recluse Spider

It is regarded by many as the most dangerous spider in the United States. In a heated home, Brown Recluse Spider bites can occur at any time of the year---spring, summer, winter or fall. This is because they live in the home and are not affected by the cold. And unlike the infamous Black Widow spider, Brown Recluses like to hide during the day in clothes, shoes, boxes and other out of the way places where bites are most likely to occur through unintentional contact. 

Adult Brown Recluse spiders are yellowish-tan to dark brown. The most distinguishing mark on a Brown Recluse spider is the presence of a dark brown or black violin or fiddle on its back with the violin's "neck" pointing toward the rear of its body. For this reason, they are sometimes called "violin spiders" or "fiddleback spiders". Both male and female spiders are similar in appearance and are equally venomous. Brown Recluse Spiders are usually 1 inch or larger in size, including the legs. They can grow as large as almost 3 inches. Young Brown Recluse spiders are smaller and somewhat lighter in color.

Studies have shown that Brown Recluse spiders are very tenacious and are very difficult to eliminate with pesticides unless sprayed directly on the spider. According to Kansas University researchers and Pest Control companies, an effective means of controlling Brown Recluse spider populations is placing the right kind of glue traps in key areas throughout the home. If you aren't sure if you have Brown Recluse spiders in your home, placing traps will tell you. More on prevention... 

Brown Recluse spiders feed on cockroaches and other insects. They do not spin webs to catch prey but instead hunt at night for their prey or wait until an insect comes in close proximity to them. Because they are generally nocturnal, they will begin to stray from their hiding place about an hour or two after dark. This is when they spend their time hunting for food. For this reason many bites occur while victims are sleeping. If they are seen in the open during the day, it is often because something has disturbed them or they are trapped within a smooth surface such as a sink, bathtub, or enclosed shower.

Time is of the essence

Because necrosis (death of flesh) is extremely painful (described by some as second only to childbirth) and pain often begins just a few hours after being bitten, it is best to be prepared by having a kit on hand to apply immediately to a bite wound. Prompt attention while the venom is in a more concentrated area is best for avoiding the ulcers and scarring that many experience as a result of being bit by a Brown Recluse spider. The importance of having a line of defense readily available is why we developed the First Aid Kit.
