    Hello, this is a very good question. The bite of a brown recluse spider can be very painful, and potentially deadly. God forbid you get bitten, but immeditate competent medical attention would be required to lessen the effects of the venom if you were. My father's best friend who lived through direct live fire combat in WWII and the Korean War was bitten on the front of his leg below the knee (by a brown recluse) when he was well into middle age. Sadly the wound never healed, slowly festering and getting worse. He finally succumbed to the effects of the infection which slowly spread through his body for a long time. Mr. Meyers was a very fine, kind, gentle and honorable man. Get your house treated immediately by an honest, reputable insect extermination company.

    • thank you so much....yes they cannot come soon enough to spray. They are "bombing" my house. I have to remove my cats and it is suppose to kill any type of insect. I hate spiders and am not sure where they are coming from but know that I cannot live with them...thanks again for your answer.
