What To Do If You See This Venomous Spider In
Your Yard
By KOURTNEY BORMAN
Known for their venomous bite, brown recluse spiders seek shelter in dry, dark, undisturbed areas and can be tough to get rid of once they've established themselves in your yard.
Some DIY methods can combat smaller numbers, but the best move to fully eliminate the spiders involves an integrated pest management plan executed by calling in a professional.
Before a professional arrives, remove potential breeding habitats like woodpiles, leaf litter, and rocks around your yard. Keep your garden and outdoor areas clean
and organized.
Remember that professionals will thoroughly inspect your yard, decide on control technology, and practice effective treatments to ensure the brown recluse infestation is contained.
