How to Get Rid of Spiders

True fear of spiders is irrational, but just because something's irrational doesn't make it any less real. They’ve been the object of lore for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Summarians told tales of the deadly eight-legged monsters. However, I don’t think I’m the first person to reveal that most spiders are totally harmless.You really have to provoke a spider for it to bite you. Their first instinct is to run.

If you're like me, however, you can't stand the sight of just one of these creepy crawlies.

Brown recluses are commonly found in Montana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Indiana, Tennessee, and northern Florida. You can find them near or on the ground if you're in a seek-and-destroy mood; they like piles of things.

They're less than an inch in length, not including the legs, which can be up to twice their body size. They are light brown and have an hour-glass-like marking on their backs. Bites are rare, but when they do bite humans, it's because one's been hiding in your clothes and you rubbed it the wrong way. People don't necessarily report similar experiences with Brown Recluse bites. Some report exquisite pain, while others have no memory of the bite. You can remove it with a vaccuum cleaner if you'd rather not squash it}. {Remember to dispose of the bag immediately.

If you do get bitten by a black widow, wash the affected area with soap and water, try to round up the bugger that bit you, and see a physician immediately. And most importantly, don't panic, the spider may not have injected any venom.
