How to Get Rid of Brown Recluse Spiders NATUTRALLY in Huntington Beach
Posted on 23 January, 2015 at 23:41 |
OK, first I will start by giving you some information on this type of Spider. Honestly, though- I'm just giving you an overview, because researching this creature is giving me the heebie-jeebies. I'm not exactly arachnophobic, but I HATE spiders! I know that they are good for us, and that they help control the insect population, blah blah blah... but I can't stand them. I read a fact once that stated that at any given time, we are never more than three feet away from a spider. This tidbit of trivia keeps me awake at night. Listen Carefully: I don't know what kind of person wrote that advice, but I'm telling you that anyone close enough to count a spider's eyes and check for fur on it's belly is probably going to then either eat it or try to commune with it telepathically, because they are clearly insane. Besides, what are you going to do if you determine that the spider is NOT a brown recluse... shake hands with it and invite it to dinner??!! I generally believe that most people, like myself, squash or run away from spiders first, and ask questions later. I will post one and only one picture here to help you identify the Brown Recluse, but the rest you can look up on your own- spending a Friday night trying to find non-copyritten pictures of giant evil spiders online is NOT my preferred way to pass time. I am usually creeped-out beyond recovery by the second page. (Ditto for what the bite looks like... Google at your own risk...some things you cannot unsee). So, now lets discuss where they hide. As the name implies, these are not the most social of spiders. The want to be left the #@!! alone! They hide all over the place, which is unfortunate. They like dark enclosed spaces, and are known to frequent shoes, dressers, behind pictures, underneath beds, in cardboard boxes, attics, closets... you get the idea. They also like woodpiles and rotting bark a lot, so they can be encountered inside or out. As they are nocturnal, artificial lights frok people attract them because of the way insects congregate around the lights at night. They can sometimes get stuck in sinks or bathtubs, because of the smooth surface. So take a look at the tub or shower floor before stepping in. SUPPOSEDLY, these spiders have no interest in feeding on humans, and only bite if they are attacked or disturbed. I'm not sure I entirely believe this about spiders in general, as I am quite certain that I have been CHASED by a spider before. The Brown Recluse Spider's web is strictly for nesting, and is not intended to trap prey. The female spider lays between 40-5o eggs and can keep 'em coming. The webs are weird looking and not typical, and the eggs are maybe the grossest thing I've ever seen. (Why do I keep Googling this stuff?!) They are giant white balls which apparently contain tiny little baby spiderlings waiting to hatch and live in your home... YUCK!!! The bite can be very dangerous, and is one of only 2 types of potentially fatal spiders bites in the US. Some people, although likely to end up with an awful scar, will be OK on their own in a few days, whilst for others especially children and the elderly, the bite is life-threatening. The bites kill the surrounding skin, and they are truly hideous to behold. It looks like flesh-eating disease: an open, ulcerous DEEP wound that keeps eating/ killing the flesh around it. Sometimes surgery is required to extract the necrotic (dead) tissue (as happened to my friend, Michael). The brown recluse spiders' venom is so poisonous that it is used to kill other insects. If bitten, you aren't likely to notice right at first, but soon it begins to become evident after a few hours with a host of symptoms. Everyone reacts to a different degree, though most victims show at least some signs of being poisoned. The site of the bite will begin to resonate deep pain and show redness, inflammation and often extreme swelling. The secondary, more serious symptoms include fever, nausea, diarrhea, and disorientation. This spider is no joke.

Yes I have witnessed the devastation this spider can do to a human being. My friends 4 year old daughter was bitten by a brown recluse in her bed and she ended up losing her toe! A plumber friend of ours was bitten on the face just below his eye and he thought it was a boil, when I saw it I said he should get to the ER immediately because it looked like a brown recluse bite to me, he did and he ended up in the hospital nearly losing his eye, his eye site was impaired for the rest of his life but he did recover eventually.
