Sticky traps stop brown recluse in their tracks and help control other pests the spiders may use as food. Keep the traps out of the reach of pets and small children. Place them on the floor against walls, behind furniture and in other out-of-the-way locations where brown recluse are likely to travel. Sticky traps can be purchased from lawn-and-garden centers, hardware and discount stores, pest control companies and distributors, do-it-yourself pest control suppliers and the Internet.
Though sticky traps may be less than attractive in your living room, you cannot use too many of them. Using 50 or more in the average home should not be considered excessive. The more traps you place, the more likely you are to catch the spiders. Not only do the traps kill brown recluse, they also help pinpoint hotspots of brown recluse activity places to focus control efforts on, such as pesticide applications."
If I ever get that many of those suckers on one trap, I’m dusting off and nuking my house from orbit!
(it’s the only way to be sure!)
I say that because we live in Wyoming, where we just came through a winter with weeks down to -20F.
We keep hearing about “global warming.”
We’re still waiting.
If I pulled that out from under my sink or couch or whatever, I’d sell the house and never come back.
