WHAT CAN I DO TO AVOID BEING BITTEN?

Brown recluse spiders are not aggressive and most bites occur in response to pressure when a spider becomes trapped against bare skin. For this reason, bites are rare, even in homes with severe infestations.

LIVING WITH BROWN RECLUSE

The initial bite is generally painless. Findings of a raised, hardened area and associated redness may not be seen for 6 to 12 hours. Bites that progress to necrosis tend to show progres-sion in 48 to 72 hours. Central blistering with surrounding gray to purple discoloration may appear. TThe site is surrounded by a ring of blanched skin and a large area of redness, producing the “red, white and blue” sign typical of a brown recluse bite. Only approximately 1 in 10 bites result in necrosis. The physical reaction depends on the amount of venom injected, bite location and individual sensitivity to the bite. Most Brown Recluse bites heal without severe scarring.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF BITTEN?

Remain calm. Apply an ice pack directly to the bite and immediately seek medical attention. It is important to collect the spider for a positive identification.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

This Brown Recluse Reduction program is designed to minimize the Brown Recluse spider population. Brown Recluse spider reduction is best achieved through a combination of efforts including monitoring, inspection, pest control material application, spider habitat reduction and at times alterations of the structure and/or landscape. However, it is important to understand that some level of Brown Recluse infestation will be present at all times during the life of the service whether or not the occupant sees them.
