Brown Recluse Spider FAQs
How do I know if I have brown recluses in my home?
Look for thin webs in corners, behind furniture, or under stored boxes. You may also notice small, brown spiders with a violin-shaped mark on their back.
Are brown recluse bites dangerous?
Yes. While not always life-threatening, bites can cause severe tissue reactions. Seek medical attention immediately if bitten.
Can I treat brown recluses myself?
DIY treatments are rarely effective. Recluses hide in inaccessible spaces, so professional inspection and treatment are essential for long-term control.
How long does treatment take?
Most infestations can be managed in one to two visits, with follow-up monitoring recommended for complete elimination.
How can I prevent recluses from coming back?
Reduce clutter, vacuum regularly, store clothing in sealed bins, and have Holper’s perform regular perimeter and interior treatments.
