Well,
I have been doing pest control for a lil' while now, and I run into a lot of people who have weird assumptions or false information that they hear some cheesy pest control commerical tell them.
So I figured I'd help out if anyone has any questions about pest control stuff (roaches in apartments, spiders, prevention, etc.)
First of all, this is a "brown recluse" spider, a very dangerous spider.
Somtimes they are the size of a quarter, or sometimes smaller or larger. I have caught one of these one time, but I wouldnt' advise trying to do such a thing. They are very, very fast, and very aggressive The only way I caught it was using some dish soap I grabbed from inside the house and threw on it, therefore slowing it down. This happened while I was outside, removing a tarp from a woodpile, as brown recluse spiders like hanging around firewood.
. . .and here is a map detailing where they are concentrated (though they are just about in every state.)

These are not brown recluse spiders
First, this is a "cellar spider" (usually in cars, garages, and usually travel in pairs. Often times when they are scared, they start swinging in circles, it looks rather funny.)

This is a [form of a] Wolf Spider
I run across these on a day-to-day basis usually while at work, and they're usually around door ways, inside brick holes, around A/C units outside, et al.
Anyone have any questions about,
-roaches
-spiders
-termites (so many lies made up by companies to get more money these days!)
etc.?
I'm not a guru of this stuff or anything, but I deal with it on a day to day basis and have heard and seen all kinds of things related to pest control.
