There is the Speckoz Evercide Total Release Aerosol Fogger that is labeled to kill spiders. Aerosol sprays are also very effective. Cy-Kick Aerosol is a great product for spider control.

I'm very sorry for this ordeal. I myself am terrified of spiders! The best thing to do for brown recluse is to set traps in concentrated areas as well as use long residual sprays that are POWERFUL like Cykick CS. You want to make sure you spray the concentrated areas inside and do an entire perimeter treatment on the outside. You always want to make sure to spray entry points from the inside as well like door frames, windows, and any other cracks and crevices. Keep in mind that all treated areas must be left alone to dry before anyone comes in contact with that area again. If there is anything that you have more questions on, feel free to contact us again and we'll try to help you out the best way we can! Good Luck! Hi Cindy. I’m very sorry for this ordeal.

I have a phobia of them and have 2 children and 1 on the way and want nothing more than to know everyone is safe. We have paid to have our home sprayed and it didn't help. Last night I found a brown recluse with a sac of babies behind my bed. Please help!!!

Brown recluses receive their name mainly from their physical color as well as their reclusive behavior, hence, Brown Recluse, so I don't think you have to worry about finding many more elsewhere. However, depending on the location of your home, you may have brown recluse spiders enter your home more frequently than you wish. Glue boards are by far the safest way of controlling brown recluse spiders, but sprays will work! Long residual sprays work to kill brown recluse spiders when they come in contact with the treated area and instant knock down agents that usually come in a pressurized aerosol form also work to kill brown recluse spiders on sight.

I saw one in my closet the other night and it got away before I could kill it. I haven't slept well since. I've been cleaning and spraying, but it hasn't shown up again. Does the spray really not work? Is it the glue traps that I should try and find. Also, if I saw one does that generally mean there are more? Or are they often just found alone.

That's like saying, all houses have black widows or all houses have centipedes and ants. Of course, any home can be a shelter for brown recluse spiders, you just have to make sure and be wise about doing regular outdoor treatment. If you are able to do a good outdoor thorough or barrier treatment, then there is no reason for them to even enter the home. Target all entry points as well as utility lines and make sure to seal all cracks and crevices. Hello Sheila, I don’t think all houses have brown recluse spiders.

I suggest spraying Suspend SC or Demon WP. Suspend is a liquid that you dilute with water and spray. It will dry on clear. Demon WP is a powder that you mix in water and spray. It has a longer residual time that Suspend but it will dry on with a visible, almost foggy, residue.

It is an unproven myth that getting rid of their food source will cause a type of dementia in brown recluse spiders. Actually, killing other insects with insect spray will simply get rid of their potential food sources. Also, there are products available that will kill brown recluses. I have called several different manufacturing companies that produce different liquid concentrates that will kill brown recluse spiders. Backed By Bayer has three different liquid concentrates that will kill the brown recluse including <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/suspend-sc-insecticide.html" rel="nofollow">Suspend SC</a>, <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/tempo-ultra-sc-termite.html" rel="nofollow">Tempo</a>, and<a href="http://www.pestmall.com/temprid-sc-insecticide.html" rel="nofollow"> Temprid SC</a> . Also, Sygenta has a product that targets spiders including the brown recluse called <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/demonwp-spider-control.html" rel="nofollow">Demon WP</a>. All these products that are listed are the top products in the market right now for general pest control as well as spider control. Hello.

Brown recluse bites are definitely no fun for adults, but for small children and the elderly, they can be fatal. You can purchase the products we mentioned in this post as long as your state doesn't have restrictions and as long as you don't misuse the products or sell them for profit (but I highly doubt you would). The Delta Dust is great to use with brown recluses and so is a liquid insecticide like Suspend SC. When your baby is born, I recommend to switching to just a liquid insecticide and glue traps, for the safety of your baby. Good luck! Hi Jennifer,

It sounds like, unfortunately, that what you saw was indeed a brown recluse spider. Wolf spiders do have markings, but that violin marking is the key identifying characteristic of a brown recluse. It doesn't sound like there's any need for alarm though. However, just to be safe, I think you should buy some glue traps to lay around your home. If you're seeing more and more of these violin spiders, you definitely want to take chemical action, but if not, then the glue traps should be a sufficient defense. Hi Anna,

Basically, you have to pay a lot because the exterminators have to come to your home and apply pesticides in a lot of hard to reach places. Our kits and even a dust product like Delta Dust will get the job done as well as any product your exterminator uses at a fraction of the cost; you just have to be willing to apply it yourself. However, if you encounter any problems or have any questions while treating for the brown recluses, you can always contact us and we'll be happy to help you out :) Whether your decide to go with your exterminator or us, I hope you manage to get rid of those brown recluses!

I am almost 6 months pregnant and my husband and I have been noticing brown recluse spiders primarly in the room that we are planning to be our nursery. We had a problem with them last year but we sprayed inside and set off foggers as well and did not catch anymore on the spider traps. This year the same thing we kept noticing them in the spare bedroom and we did the same thing we did last year and in the last month we have caught a baby spider on the trap. I killed another baby recluse that was crawling across the bed in broad daylight and my husband had another small one crawling on him in the bed last nite. I have a recluse phobia since my mom got bit two years ago. She is fine but had to take steriods and got reoccuring bites from it as well. Not sure what to do, but our baby will be here in Nov. and we really want this taken care of before he gets here. Can anyone purchase delta dust or the other powders that have been listed?

Although a mouse isn't that welcome of a guest at my house, it's better than what I found out the "mouse" actually was. It was a massive(about the diameter of a tennis ball) brown recluse. I live in the middle of nowhere in Tennessee, and surrounded by fields and dense, wood-like areas. At first I thought it was a large wolf spider, because those are common around here. After the spider was smacked a few times with my shoe, I saw what looked like a violin-shaped marking on it's head. Do wolf spiders have markings? And how big do brown recluses get? I also think that I just killed a smaller one. Is that bad to see more than one in two days time? I'm not one to be freaked out by spiders, and it would help if the mouse-spider-thing I killed wasn't a brown recluse.

Here's the misconception over pest bombs. Many people assume that bombs will reach all the hard to reach crack and crevices because it’s in a gaseous form, so after a couple bombs they assume they have gotten rid of the infestation, only to see them re appear within a couple days. Brown Recluse spiders love to harbor in undisturbed areas and can be found in shoes, clothes and bedding during the night. It is recommended to move your bed away from the wall so that the spiders may not have easy access to the bed. Shoes and clothes should also be shaken off before wearing. Before applying pesticide it’s always best to begin with glue boards so that you can get an idea of their harboring area. Following the glue boards or along with the glue boards you can use a long residual insecticide that will help you to control their numbers. When targeting the brown recluse spiders it also important to control the general population of pests around the home. As long as there is a food source for them, they are likely to stay. When their food source is eliminated, they are likely to move out and relocate to other areas. You will need to do an outdoor treatment as well as indoor treatment. Recommended products would be Delta Dust, Drione Dust, Cynoff WP, Cyper WP, and/or Demand CS. Sorry to hear about the frightening experience you both are coping with.

Bigger?? I can barely deal with the thought of a small one being in my home (as I'm 9 months pregnant, due any day) let alone the ones that are already here to get BIGGER!! I have killed some in the bathroom at night since I'm up going potty all night, found several 'shells' in the living room around the baseboards, and caught a really big one (WAAAYYY bigger than an INCH in diameter, btw) what can I use that is safe for me and baby besides only the sticky's? Because that seems like a drawn out type process and I'm looking for more of an immediate affect? Also, will spraying and trapping, etc. kinda upset em and make them more prevalent and noticeable?

I have killed some in the bathroom at night since I’m up going potty all night, found several ‘shells’ in the living room around the baseboards, and caught a really big one (WAAAYYY bigger than an INCH in diameter, btw) what can I use that is safe for me and baby besides only the sticky’s? Because that seems like a drawn out type process and I’m looking for more of an immediate affect? Also, will spraying and trapping, etc. kinda upset em and make them more prevalent and noticeable? Jw?

I am so ready to move, but I'm concerned that there may be spiders in any of the boxes we have here in the storage area. I really want to just get rid of anything we don't absolutely need...because I don't want to bring any to the next place we move. We have an exterminator who has sprayed twice and set out some traps. I've found all sizes of live and dead recluses (baby to large adult) around every level of the house. We have 3 young children and I don't know which is worse ~ the spider or the insecticide! She actually is coming today to set off some "fog" bomb in the drop ceiling downstairs or something, and I'm nervous about going back home and letting the children around the residue. Any advice on these "fog bombs" or how to get rid of them on every level? We just moved to a rental home in Missouri, and we are battling these brown recluses.

The best way to fight brown recluses is to be careful and to prevent them from living anywhere. Cover up any holes or creases in any boxes using duct tape and always check your clothes and shoes before putting them on. In terms of killing methods, I would recommend a glue trap to catch the ones wandering around your and your child's bed. You can also use Demand CS to apply around the bed to hopefully prevent more brown recluses climbing up bed posts. However, most pesticides kill spiders effectively and don't always list brown recluses as a target pest. I would recommend that you look through Pest Mall's available brown recluse pesticides and then call the manufacturer to make sure it will definitely kill brown recluses. If you ever need any help, please call us at 1-800-788-4142. That certainly sounds like an unwanted and scary pest!

However, we are pretty sure that liquid concentrates will provide a residual contact kill for spiders, including the brown recluse. I have called several different manufacturing companies that produce different liquid concentrates that will kill brown recluse spiders. Backed By Bayer has three different liquid concentrates that will kill the brown recluse including <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/suspend-sc-insecticide.html" rel="nofollow">Suspend SC</a>, <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/tempo-ultra-sc-termite.html" rel="nofollow">Tempo</a>, and <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/temprid-sc-insecticide.html" rel="nofollow">Temprid SC </a>. Also, Sygenta has two products that targets spiders including the brown recluse called <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/demon-max.html" rel="nofollow">Demon Max</a> and <a href="http://www.pestmall.com/demonwp-spider-control.html" rel="nofollow">Demon WP</a>. All these products that are listed are the top products in the market right now for general pest control as well as spider control. They will all dry on clear except for the Demon WP which will leave a visible residue. However, the Demon WP may be the best product to use because it may provide a longer residual. All the products that are linked have products labels which provide the dilution rates for spiders. Talking to the manufacturing companies, they have both said that when they label "spider," it does target all species including the brown recluse and even the black widow. The behavior of brown recluse spiders can be found on our brown recluse main page which is linked here: http://www.pestmall.com/brown-recluse-spider-control-products/ - The bottom of the brown recluse category page lists where to look for them, how to get rid of them, and some other biological characteristics. If you have any questions though, you can always give us a call at 1-800-788-4142. We will love to help you! Good Luck!! Hello Sally,

First of all, you should probably know that I have a serious phobia of spiders in general. It's so bad that it actually affects my life in many ways and puts a lot of limitations on me. We live in Missouri and have recently moved outside of a big city and onto some land in the country. Naturally I expected to see more spiders in general- but this is out of hand. I saw a few brown recluses early this spring and decided to call Orkin. They've been out twice because I keep finding them. They have set 32 sticky pads up in my house because they say that you can't kill them with spray. He said they're also called the dirty spider because they don't clean themselves so they never ingest the poision supposedly. However, the sticky things have worked very well. Which is why I'm alarmed; in a matter of four weeks we now have confirmed that there are over 25 brown recluses on those. I hate to think about how many didn't cross the path of a sticky pad. I literally am losing sleep over this. I check my sheets and our daughters crib every night. I sleep with long sleeve shirts and pants on. I sleep with my light on hoping they'll stay in the dark. I'm with the lady above; I'm completely ready to move. I really cannot handle this. What else can I do besides the Orkin visits? Are they correct about the pesticides? I'll do what ever it takes to stop this, anything at all. If there's any advice you could give I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Hello,

If he was located in this country, we would be able to help you, but from my understanding, we can't ship out products internationally. So even though we have products available, we wouldn't be able to ship them out to him. The chemical content in most of our products may be the reason why the country will not let our products in. I'm sorry I could not help out in a better way! Hello, that sounds so uncomfortable.

He said his mud shelter they are occupying is full of brown recluse, black widows, flies and rats. He has just arrived there and has 7 months left. I would like to know if you can tell me what would be the best product to send to him to keep these unwanted creepy crawling creatures at bay?

They also put "sticky" traps in various locations in the house. Since, I have caught a couple brown recluses in the traps (basement laundry area and living room by the fireplace) and have killed live spiders in both upstairs bathrooms and the kitchen. I am totally freaked out, especially since I have a 3 month old baby. I had another company come and spray the whole house and "dust" the attic. I have cleaned and inspected the upstairs and don't see anything else except the fireplace. All throughout it, there are small webs, and I even saw a dead baby brown recluse on the sticky trap near it. I really would love to just move out of my house!! Help! I keep having nightmares about spiders and I just don't know what to do. Can I or should I do anything else? Can I relax now that I've had the house sprayed a second time? I've heard that brown recluses can be impossible to kill. Can I ever feel safe in my home again? My baby will be crawling in a few months and I don't feel like I can let him down on the floor.
