Brown Recluse spiders get their name from their color and reclusive habits. They usually run for cover when disturbed. This spider is also called the Violin Spider because of the brown violin shape on the back of it’s head or “cephalothorax”.

Following application of chloropicrin, Vikane fumigant (99.8 percent sulfuryl fluoride) was introduced at a dose of 9.8 ounces per 1,000 ft³ for a 25-hour exposure with a target accumulated dosage of 117 ounce-hours per 1,000 ft³. The required dosage was based on the target pest and a soil temperature of 71°F for the crawlspace of the building. The fumigation was monitored using an RDA Fumiscope, made by Key Chemical and Equipment Company. The actual accumulated dosage was slightly more than 160 ounce-hours per 1,000 ft³, which translated into 1.7x the drywood termite dosage.

Spiders were checked for survival about 30 hours after the building was aerated using the California Aeration Plan and clearance testing was conducted. Of the 36 brown recluses exposed to sulfuryl fluoride, all 18 males and 13 of 18 females were dead with the remaining five females being moribund. These five were dead within a week.” – read more

Responsible Pest Control services for spiders is included in the general pest control services. We actually don’t have the true Brown Recluse in Greater Phoenix. We have the cousin, call the Mojave Brown Spider. Brown Recluse spiders are not in the Greater Phoenix Valley as some people think. Other spiders in Phoenix AZ valley areas are often mistaken for Brown Recluse Spiders by the untrained eye.

Treatment Inside Homes

These spiders can be found inside homes in any undisturbed area that they can get access to. Brown Recluse are often found in seldom used areas like: boxes, clothing, shoes, and among papers. Storage areas are were they are most often found. They can also be in corners, under furniture, and along baseboards, windows, and doors.

Exterior Spider Control

Treating for Brown Recluse (and other spiders) outside includes perimeters and treating places they like to shelter in. Brown Recluse spiders outside are found in utility boxes, around rocks, under leaves, and in wood piles. Keeping landscape maintained will help eliminate sheltering areas.

Make sure to move all wood (or debris) piles away from your house at least 20 feet as these are common places spiders infest. Keeping wood piles away from your home will help keep any spider infestations from getting into your home!
