We have no Brown Recluse.
We’re supposed to have Black Widows but danged if I can find one.
I met a couple from WV at a bike week, locally and they swore they had lots of them at their house and said they’d catch me some.
So far, nothing.
They’re probably just seeing black house spiders and freaking out.
:-\
Most of the spiders here are Wolf Spiders but I kill them anyway. I have killed several Brown Recluse but not since the lizards moved in here in force. I save the Recluse bodies to ask the exterminator what they were and he confirmed it.
We built a house out in the woods on a creek many years ago. Shortly after moving in I found Black Widows all over the place. I killed them off and never found another one. We lived there for 16 years.
