Comments on: Brown Recluse in the home? http://www.brownrecluse.com/treatments/brown-recluse-home.html How to treat Spider problems in and around the home Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:07:29 +0000 hourly 1 By: Support http://www.brownrecluse.com/treatments/brown-recluse-home.html#comment-4965 Support Fri, 01 Jul 2011 20:34:36 +0000 http://www.brownrecluse.com/?p=275#comment-4965 @<a href="#comment-4964" rel="nofollow">tonya</a>: It's not really possible to tell for sure if you have more or not. But there are several things we can establish and when you think about them, you should be able to "gauge" what to expect population wise over time. First, getting bit by a brown recluse is bad and children tend to succumb to the bite a lot worse compared to adults. Second, homes which aren't being treated on the outside are no doubt more at risk for all kinds of perimeter pests getting into their living area. Lastly, if you find any pests infiltrating your home, chances are high there are common routes of entry that could in fact allow a wide range of pests to enter including venomous species like recluse spiders. So based on what we do know, I would at say there is reason to treat whether you have more inside or not. To start with, you should install Spider Traps throughout the home to see if you catch anything significant. Over a 1-2 week period, if there is a problem in house, the traps will help identify where and what needs to be handled.

More than anything else, this treatment will significantly reduce the local population of all pests which in turn will cause spiders and other predatory insects to move away. This one event can help to keep your home spider free. http://www.brownrecluse.com/brown-recluse-spider-control/spiders-outside Lastly, if the traps identify a spider problem in the home, get some of the products in our Inside Treatments section and take care of them before anyone gets bit. http://www.brownrecluse.com/brown-recluse-spider-control/spiders-inside @tonya: It's not really possible to tell for sure if you have more or not.

Does that mean there is more in the house? I have a 3 yr old and a 9 month old. I found it in the living area where they play all day long.. I just killed the first one today.

But if you are seeing the spiders in her room, you might want to remove her and keep her out for a week or so following a good treatment. If you can go 2 weeks without getting any caught in a Spider Trap, let her move back in. I just think it would be wise to keep her out of the room if the spiders are in fact active there right now. Go with the SPIDER TRAPS inside her room and then treat the perimeter with the BAYGON on the inside and the DELTAMETHRIN on the outside.

Many times they'll be active when all else is still and quiet. This commonly happens at night. I suggest you start a good pest control campaign using the products we have listed in our Spider Control section. Traps and some Residual treatments will eliminate this problem.

The baby brown recluse spider attacked us. I have seen only 1. We had to seek medical attention because we did not know what was creating the terrible swelling,and such pain. The doctor recognized systom, and treated us. We can not understand why the recluse spiders are never seen by us. I have spent weeks searching the house!

As our article explains, to control spiders, especially brown recluse spiders, it's usually a good idea to do 2-3 things. First, be sure to spray the outside of the home with one of the residual products we have listed in the article like the DELTAMETHRIN or the LAMDA-CYHALOTHRIN. These will help keep them out. You can see them listed in the Spider Products section here: http://www.brownrecluse.com/spider-products/chemicals Second, on the inside, a good residual like the BAYGON AEROSOL will really help. But we now have a new material that I started using about 2 months ago which I really love. It's called PHANTON and it's ideal for use inside. No odor, no staining, it goes on "dry" and best of all, it works really well. I've been having a bad problem with spiders and it seemingly knocked them out with just one treatment. I'll be adding it to the list of good products to use for spiders now that I know it's a good formulation.

What is the best recommended spray for treatment. Is it possible to get rid of the spiders or do we need to hire an exterminator to come in?
