What are brown recluse spiders?

brown recluse spider in hendersonville tennessee

Brown recluse spiders are medium-sized and range in length from ¼ to ¾ of an inch.

Their most distinguishing mark is a violin-shaped mark on the top of the body; they also have three pairs of eyes that are arranged in a unique semi-circle pattern.

These spiders are venomous and are found in every county in Tennessee.

Are brown recluse spiders dangerous?

Brown recluse spiders have venom but, unless injured or threatened, they rarely bite. If you are bitten, you may not notice right away. Symptoms usually appear 2-8 hours after the bite. The most common symptom is redness around the bite and blistering. You may also experience some pain and itching at the bite site followed by the area ulcerating and necrosis of the tissue that may take months to heal. Some people (especially those with underdeveloped or compromised immune systems) may also develop a severe whole-body reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Once you realize you’ve been bitten, seek medical attention and, if possible, bring the spider for identification.

Why do I have a brown recluse spider problem?

When living inside homes, brown recluse spiders tend to favor darkened storage areas like closets, cupboards, attics and dry basements. If they are living outdoors on your property you will most likely find them in sheds, piles of debris and woodpiles. Brown recluses hibernate in the winter so they are most active and therefore come into the most contact with humans from March to October.

How do I get rid of brown recluse spiders?

Brown recluse spiders can be difficult to eliminate because they typically live outdoors and, as their name implies, they are a timid species that can be hard to locate. At All-American Pest Control we offer brown recluse spider control to help control and eliminate these spiders.
