Which is why they are going to spider heaven in about an hour.

Normally I leave spiders alone or relocate them. They are allies in my battle with the fly and other flying buzzy things. But brown recluses, like you said, can put you in the hospital.

Having been bitten by one, I can agree. Leg bite, 6 weeks with a big welt (larger than a silver dollar), which I had to change the dressing (MSM powder, to absorb the poison) on 3 times a day. And I was lucky I got off that light.
