Why the fuck is he waiting to move.
When my mom and dad were dating and living in an apartment, my dad caught a black widow spider and put it in a jar with holes in it as a pet. they woke up the next day to find baby black widows ALL OVER THE WALL AND THE CEILING. they said nope and bug bombed the whole apartment.
[QUOTE=elih595;36959903]Burn the apartment down it's theirs now.[/QUOTE] it's the only way to be sure
Dude, I had an egg sac of these things hatch in my apartment. I kill at least three or four a day! I went on a big cleaning spree the other day, and smashed or vacuumed over a dozen. They aren't naturally aggressive. The best defense is to just check the sheets before climbing into bed. Course, they're resistant to most poisons, for some reason. Apparently, it just fucks with their nervous systems, and turns them into hyper-aggressive zombie spiders.

Man I remember reading the thread the guy made on Something Awful just a week ago... Poor bastard could've moved out only a month later. Never had a chance :tinfoil:
Brown recluses are, generally, far less dangerous than black widow spiders. That's not to say that a bite doesn't require medical attention, but the liklihood of death, serious injury, or necrosis is very rare. A bite is comparable to a bee sting. I don't know why people keep posting NSFW images of necrotic tissue infections. :sigh: Scientists think[url=http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Brown-spiders-pushing-out-black-widows-study-3684762.php] brown recluses might actually be outnumbering and displacing black widow spiders.[/url]
I've been bitten by a brown recluse before. Ended up pretty sick and I had an oozing wound on my arm. I spent a day in the hospital on IV.
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;36964197] I don't know why people keep posting NSFW images of necrotic tissue infections. :sigh: [/QUOTE] Don't know? That's a bite. Even if it is rare do you know how many spiders are in his apartment? Pesticides make them madder and at least 5 of those spiders will give necrosis.
[QUOTE=Laferio;36959123]uuuuuh... Brown Recluse Spiders are [B][I][U]EXTREMELY[/U][/I][/B] venomous.. The venom can possibly eat your skin+flesh away. Why on EARTH would this guy deal with these spiders? What in the FUCK is this guy thinking that its ok to sleep with an infestation. "Oh yeah I'll just move my bed! that'll help."[/QUOTE] Brown recluse spiders are reclusive as their name implies. They're fairly docile creatures and most bites occur when pressed against the skin inadvertently. Most bites are without venom actually, many that are only result in mild local irritation. A worst case scenario bite can always happen, but I doubt his life is in danger.
Once when I was getting the mail from my box, there was a nice brown recluse just chilling under my mail. "Oh hai, just watching your envelopes for ya m8." Then the time I was unbolting my car's rusted spoiler from the trunk door. "Oh hai, its me again, your spoiler actually makes a good home, don't mind me"
[QUOTE=The Aussie;36959177]It's necrosis, the death of cells without them falling off or being removed from the body, i.e., the body thinks they're still alive. Your necrotic tissue will rot and possibly spread. One of the best treatments for this is maggots, as they only eat the Necrotic tissue and leave good tissue clean.[/QUOTE] Actually, they eat living tissue as happily as dead.

I've been bitten by one when I was younger, I went to the hospital later that night and got put on some nasty medication, but other than that it was uneventful. Then again it's apparently the most misdiagnosed spider bite, so it could have been something else.
I had just arrived from Winter break and got into my car. I had left my car parked at the airport for two weeks. I start to drive down the highway, it's 6 am on a Sunday, so I've got a good pace going. I look up for whatever reason, and above my head is one of these fuckers crawling around. Man, I pulled the fuck over as fast as I could and started to freak out. I'm not too scared of spiders, but spiders in my car is the worst possible thing. There's nowhere to go. Took off my shoe and blasted that motherfucker straight to hell.

Except I was the kid to see it and he wouldn't listen he was too busy sleeping. We didn't bug bomb the house though we just killed the mother and assumed the babies died.
I decided to vacuum the couch in my sunroom. I pulled it away from the wall and found four of these bastards (granted, two of them were dead). Vacuumed them up. As I removed the back cushion, I found another one, and vacuumed him as well. Two more under the bottom cushion, and one on the underside of the ottoman. My couch was home to eight brown recluses, hiding in its various nooks. I've decided to abandon the sunroom until winter.
I once found one of these fuckers waiting to get me by surprise, it was right above my head on the ceiling on a warm summer night, I threw a pillow at it and thankfully killed it on the first try :v:
all of the idiots that are saying brown recluses are still incredibly deadly because of necrosis are wrong and probably just looked up necrosis minutes ago if you simply go to a hospital after necrosis presents, it is usually a non issue and again, necrosis does not affect most people at all unless they have a weakened immune system or are very young/old read before you post

"Oh yeah I'll just move my bed! that'll help."[/QUOTE] because moving out is as easy as that. It takes time, and yes, moving his bed was the wisest thing he could've done. recluses aren't as strong as normal spiders, so they can make it about half way up the wall before falling. By moving his bed he saved him self from waking up with those mother fucks on his face.
To hell with discussing how lethal these spiders are. These ones are just fucking creepy looking, and they're the kind who just LOVE to settle into shoes and shit. Did you see the pictures of the spiders he uploaded on Something Awful? Oh christ they're horrifying
