biglakejake Report post Posted December 26, 2019 just prior to thanksgiving snows i had taken my heavy winter comforter and an old sleeping bag from the closet and thew them over the carport clothesline to air out. 48hrs after bringing them back in things started going downhill. young professional neighbor with 2 preteens and i have been struggling with spiders for years now. no food sources found but outreageous numbers of spiders. have moved woodpiles and demolished sheds, sprayed extensively ourselves and had exterminators in. had to happen i guess. lee Research conducted at Oklahoma State and Texas A&M Universities has confirmed that brown recluse spiders are difficult to kill with most insecticides. Among the various liquid spray formulations, pyrethroid insecticides (e.g., Demand® CS, TalstarOne®, Suspend®, Tempo®, and Demon®) appear to give the improved control, compared to older carbamate and organophosphate chemicals such as Ficam®, Dursban® and Safrotin®. In one trial, the pyrethroid insecticide bifenthrin (Talstar®) showed toxicity with no significant repellency to brown recluse spider adults. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It cleared up about 5 days later. Scar still visible but fading. I wont mess around anymore by waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLW Report post Posted December 26, 2019 hope you heal up well! A guy from work army ranger vet was bit on his foot..... did the normal tough guy thing not going to the Dr. A week later he dropped a spare tire on his foot and somehow made the infection spread quickly and after removing part of the flesh from his foot the infection persisted and the ended up amputating about 1/2 of his foot! Brown recluse bites = no joke! James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
