Brown Recluse Spiders
November 19, 2007 by Aaron Webb
Brown recluse spiders are currently a more frequent pest to Iowa than in the past. Brown Recluse spiders, identifiable by a brown fiddle marking on their back, are oftentimes a large fear amongst those of you who fear the creepy spider. The fear of the brown recluse stems in the fact that they excrete cytotoxic venom when they bite. The initial bite is absolutely painless so victims have no idea when they’ve been bitten, rendering an anti-venom absolutely pointless.
The venom yields chronic symptoms frequently taking weeks to months to clear. Symptoms typically include enlarged reddened areas with pus filled blisters. The brown recluse’s venom causes blood clotting and affected tissues to die. The upside, you may be wondering if there is an upside, is that 90% of all bites heal without severe problems. Additionally, the brown recluse is a passive hunting spider. Basically, the brown recluse is a slacker. It does not hunt for prey or spin webs and is lazy. You are much more likely to find a brown recluse in an undisturbed space, such as an unworn shoe in a closet or hiding behind pipes in your basement. A brown recluse, like all spiders does not attack humans as prey but rather out of defense and fear.
One of the best defenses against such pests, is regulating your overall pest population. If the recluse has no food supply, the chances of survival are grim.
