In the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet, a little girl was happy as can be as she sat on a tuffet. But she was scared away when a spider sat down beside her. It was probably a good thing she ran away, for had that spider been a Brown Recluse, it was quite possible she’d have to finish her curds and whey in the back of an ambulance. We both know these spiders can cause a serious injury so, let’s get down to how to get rid of brown recluse spiders naturally.
Brown Recluse spiders (Violin spiders) when they bite, they are dangerous but typically not lethal. Thankfully, contrary to popular belief, they are also not common in California. They have been spotted in Southern California on a few occasions, but it is rare to find one. Typically, Brown Recluses are shy spiders and tend to stay as far away from humans as possible, unlike their spider cousin the Black Widow, who is quite aggressive. But… on a rare occasion, they have been known to bite. And if bitten, you might not realize it right away. It takes a few hours for the spider’s venom to affect its’, victim. The infected person might not even realize they have been bitten until the bite starts to swell and they feel nauseous. The initial bite doesn’t hurt at all. If left untreated, the bite can eat away at your skin and eventually require surgery.
Rare or not, how do you keep from being bitten? Like nearly all species of spider, the best way to stop them from around your home is to clean up any debris. Spiders love dark, secluded places, such as wood piles and old sheds.
