If you find more than one I would definitely take action in your house. If I'm doing a brown recluse treatment in a house I treat under all baseboards, pull all the receptacle/ light switch covers off and treat behind those. Pull everything out of the closets and treat there, under all pieces of furniture, strip the bed to the basics and treat all cracks, etc etc.

Very involved treatment...they pay well.

what do they do, spray the house? doesnt that process make them come out from hiding?

I work in pest control. I use a dust formula for the majority of a treatment for brown recluse spiders because of the long life and quick kill of this formulation. Not much spraying going on at all.

Yes...it will run them out of hiding but you won't see them alive for long. Definitely check under upholstered furniture (couches and such) before sitting...

You're probably going to have to or else they'll breed.......

Identifying and Misidentifying the Brown Recluse Spider

Identifying the Brown Recluse Spider
One can readily learn how to identify recluse spiders with less than a minute's training. Whereas most U.S. spiders have 8 eyes, typically arranged in 2 rows of 4, the recluse spiders have 6 eyes arranged in pairs (dyads) with one anterior dyad and 2 lateral dyads (Fig. 1). All 13 species of U.S. recluses (11 native, 2 non-native) share the same eye pattern. In many publications, the violin pattern on the cephalothorax (the first body part to which the legs attach) is mentioned as a diagnostic characteristic (Fig 2). Although it is quite consistent in adult brown recluses (although it can fade in preserved specimens), many western U.S. recluse species and some young brown recluses have virtually no contrasting pigmentation in the violin region (Fig. 3, 4). In addition, recluse spiders have abdomens that are devoid of coloration pattern and their legs are covered with fine hairs but lack thickened spines.
