Look at the eyes since he is dead. Easiest way to tell.
Reg spider has 8 but recluse only 6 and spaced differently

I got in a fight with a brown recluse once. My calf lost that battle

Cool I will look. He's actually still alive. I killed two in the last two days so when I saw him this morning I decided to catch him on the trap to get a better look.

I can't tell how many eyes it has. It didn't appreciate my camera in its face, though.

See if you can get a focused picture of the back right behind the head. Not the abdomen. There will be a distinct dark mark in the shape of a fiddle. It is the most obvious marking for me to ID by. I'm not aware of any other spider with that distinct mark.

Only one way to be certain.

I don't think it is. The BR usually has legs that are symmetrical. That one looks like the anterior legs are longer than the rest. Looks like a juvenile wolf spider. I'd burn down the house cause there are prolly a whole lot more since those things have lots of babies.

I'd put enough to poison down to get a ticket from the epa.

Well that is what is kind of odd... About 3 weeks ago I sprayed Demon WP pretty thoroughly inside and out. Before that I had been really lazy about spraying and probably hadn't sprayed in 9 months or so. I've always heard spraying can disturb them and you may see more bugs temporarily after treating, but I've never noticed it before this application. Maybe the long period without spraying before caused some infestation. The crazy weather could be a factor too, I suppose.

Should I spray again so soon? Can't really afford to raze it.

I don't think that's a recluse. Just a house spider. Still fire is your best option

I've been bit by one.

Fortunately, I was vacationing with a retired nurse and show it to her because of the rapid change and she was familiar with what a brown recluse bite looked like.

If you start wondering how you suddenly have a pimple at 40 and the next day there is deep bruising all around it and an abscess were the white head was 12-18 hours before; get into a doc and get a giant shot of antibiotics in each butt cheek plus 10 days of horse pills.

Never felt the bite, can't say the same about those shots.

Pretty sure that's a type of huntsman spider, not a recluse.

Way to go.....that's prolly a good spider that eats the snakes and other pests around your house.
