Control of the brown recluse spider is critical. Due to the possible medical problems caused by bites, a professional pest control service should be enlisted for severe infestations in the house. Until the brown recluse is completely controlled in a home, occupants should carefully check and shake out their bedding before going to sleep. Bites are often inflicted when someone rolls onto one during their sleep. Bed skirts should also be removed to reduce the chances of spiders crawling onto the bed.
Sanitation Remove any spiders found by vacuuming.
Dispose of the bag outside. Remove webs so that you can monitor potential spider activity in future inspections. Sticky boards placed along walls can also be used for monitoring purposes. Professional pest control services can use flushing agents as a monitoring tool in an effort to locate breeding areas. The person conducting the inspection should wear gloves.
