From a Recluse or Trap Door? I'm guessing the latter.

Recluse, the venom kills the tissue and it starts rotting. Spreads and feeds the process on your tissue.

Yes,I'm aware of the process. That's what makes the Recluse so dangerous. Spiders are a kind of habit of mine. My wife thinks I'm nuts. The Recluse aside, spiders do a great job of ridding us of nasty little things like flies and mosquitoes. Centipedes too. They're a vicious little predator.

And, BTW, they’re good at ‘playing dead’ when you think you’ve got ‘em.
To: driftdiver
Yep. It’s called ‘necrosis’.
To: doorgunner69
Can’t they just termite tent the place and nuke them? I'd suggest freezing them with liquid nitrogen. Safer. . . drain the pipes, release the supercooled gas, and freeze the place. Dead, dead, dead.

Can’t they just termite tent the place and nuke them? Sometimes, but not always, the answer to your question is answered in the article. In this case, the last two paragraphs.

That’s what’s being done now with something that kills the eggs as well. There have to be egg sacks everywhere in that house in the walls, behind cabinets, etc. That’s something that doesn’t happen over night. Did the prior owner/bank know about them? What about the inspector who did the inspection for the buyer and lender. There is no way an infestation even 1/4 that size should have been missed. There is a potential claim against both the inspection company and prior owner. If the prior owner was a bank then they would have an earlier inspection when they foreclosed on the property plus one before it was sold if they had it for more than a few months due to the damage vacant/foreclosed homes get while waiting sale
The insurance company is correct it’s not covered.

I had a large spider jump from the top of a door, and land on my forehead. I didn't know spiders were cold!

Look up the “Pelican Spider”: they’ve been preying on other spiders—and some have turned up in amber fossils, from millions of years ago.

We got issues enough keeping purple centipedes out of the house.
We do not like insects, though the only spiders we have a problem with are large "cane" things that weave webs outside at eye level for you to walk into. The favored killing technique is a propane lighter and wait for the pop.

"does that me Massive Spiders?"
Don't tell me you missed that classic 50's B&W scifi movie with the monster tarantula? Even a nuke could not take him out. That was a badass spider.
To: doorgunner69
Lol up bite brown recluse spider using Google. Then look at the pictures. We don’t have them here just Black Widows and I’d rather be bitten by one of them then a recluse
