HOW to GET RID of BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER – POSIONOUS SPIDERS

A Brown Recluse Spiders reclusive characteristic is that they seek hiding places and shelter. They are very adaptable and will still be active in temperatures from 45F to 110F, meaning that they will still be active during the winter. Brown recluse spiders have soft bodies with yellowish-tan to dark brown color. They can vary from 1/3- 1/2′ in length and can be over 1′ in diameter including the legs. They can be identified by a dark brown violin looking shape mark (please refer to the picture for identification). The brown recluse spider spins a web that is white to gray in color. They are active at night and usually eat other insects as in cockroaches and other small insects. Brown recluse spiders can survive up to 6 months without food or water.

INSPECTION

Brown recluse spiders can be found usually in indoors, bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, garages, basements and cellars. They can also be found living in or around the duck work or registers on above-ceiling duct works. Brown recluse spiders can be found outside in storage houses or buildings where things are stored and they MAY also be found in sheltered corners with debris, wood piles, and under loose stones. They can make webs under furniture, appliances and carpets, behind baseboards and door facings, even in corners and crevices.

SAFETY EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

People usually get bitten when they change clothes or when they put their hands in their pockets or even putting on their shoes. The pain from the bite will not be as intense immediately, but within 8-12 hours the pain will become intense.

1. The person might have fever, chills, nausea, and joint pain.
2. The person might become restless within 24-36 hours after they have been bitten
3. The area of the bite will swell because the tissue will become inflames and it would be hard to touch. The venom of the brown recluse spider has an enzyme that will destroy cell membranes in the bitten area.
4. After a few days, a huge ulcerous sore will form. If the wound is open from the bite, it may range from the size of an adults thumbnail to the size of the hand. The sore heals extremely slowly; it will take about 6-8 weeks to heal and it will leave a large, disfiguring scar. If possible, you would need to take the brown recluse spider to the doctor to get identification immediately.
5. The person should apply an ice pack to relieve the swelling.

The brown recluse spiders only bite when someone or something disturbs their spot as a defense mechanism, so if you find a spider, please do not touch it with bare hands or feet.

CONTROL METHODS

Prevention:
If you live in the area where brown recluse spiders are common, you will need to shake out your clothing and shoes be dressing just in case a brown recluse spider is hiding in them. You will need to inspect any items that you are going to use and you will have to WEAR GLOVES the whole time when you are going to garden, handle firewood and pine straws. You should not go outside barefooted because the brown recluse spider might bite your foot or you might step on one. You should also eliminate much clutter as you can in the storage areas and also vacuum and dust around the windows, corners, and under furniture often.

Crack and Crevice Treatments:
This treatment is generally applied with a liquid spray (MASTERLINE BIFENTHRIN 7.9, DEMON WP, ECOPCO WP X ), and dust (DELTA DUST, COBWEB ELIMINATOR), dust (DELTA DUST), and aerosols (V ONE PYRETHRUM 17.5 OZ.,ECOPCO ACU AEROSOL, CY-KICK AEROSOL, ALPINE AEROSOL) to be applied to small cracks and crevices in a structure with spiders may live and hide.

For liquid spray application, you will need to have a pressure sprayer or a gallon sprayer (CHAPIN 1 GALLON SPRAYER). For MASTERLINE BIFENTHRIN 7.9,DEMON WP, you will need a low pressure system with a pinpoint or variable pattern nozzle to apply the spray mixture to areas such as floors, cracks and crevices, in and around baseboards, walls, expansion joints, around your windows, and under your furniture. You will need to apply using the amount that is said on the label and may need to reapply if needed.

The dust application is simple. However, when using dust please be cautious especially when children and pets are present. Use dust only in areas where it is hard for them to reach. The DELTA DUST, you will need to use a BELLOW BULB DUSTER or a CENTROBULB DUSTER. When using a BELLOW BULB DUSTER or a CENTROBULB DUSTER for DELTA DUST, you will need to fill the duster with the dust as directed in the label and apply DELTA DUST to cracks, spaces or bearing joints between the wooden members of the structure. Apply lightly and uniformly to the infested area. DO NOT OVER USE DUST. The aerosols are used by spraying into the crack and crevice.

Since aerosols and liquid sprays are liquid be cautious if you are spraying near any electric equipment or outlet.

Directly getting rid of the web that the spider has made already you will need to useCOBWEB ELIMINATOR. You will directly spray the COBWEB ELIMINATOR on the web and it makes it easier to remove the web without leaving any of it behind. It also discourages the reformation of webs. The COBWEB ELIMINATOR has a mildly acidic odor to it, but it is indicating that the product is effectively working.

Barrier Treatments:
This treatment is applying a liquid spray to zone around on a structure that any pest might enter the zone. These are sometimes called a perimeter treatment where soil areas are adjacent to a structure as well as a portion of the lower foundation wall next to the soil are treated (MASTERLINE BIFENTHRIN 7.9, ECOPCO WP X, andDEMON WP).

Barrier treatments or Perimeter treatments are used just around the structure of your home to create a barrier for you home. We suggest that you use a gallon sprayer as well (CHAPIN 1 GALLON SPRAYER). Using the directions of the amount and the rate that you should use, apply a continual band of insecticide around a building foundation and around windows, doors, service lines entrances, eaves, vents, and other areas can greatly reduce the potential for entry by pests. Also apply a band to the soil 6-10 ft. wide around and adjacent to the building and treat the building foundation to a height of 2-3 ft. where peats are active and may find entrance. Apply as a coarse spray treatment to thoroughly and uniformly wet the band. For better results, this treatment needs to be done regularly to reduce the amount of insects and to keep your house insect free.
