My next door neighbor Terry Johnson was just at my door to warn me, he had a Brown Recluse Spider bite him on the back of his leg while he sat at his computer. He has killed two others around his home but this one was IN his home.
He told me Pro Hardware sells home bombing bug killer. This is no joke and I’m sure this isn't a isolated case. I'm trying to inform not terrify you.

A little more information..........
Brown Recluse Spiders can survive six months without food or water, hidden in their lairs during daytime and roaming at night.
This arachnid prefers undisturbed places, so the Brown Recluse Spider usually bites humans when it is caught between a part of the body and another surface, for example, when children are playing under house furniture such as beds and tables or in the garage. Bites also happen while a person who is sleeping suddenly rolls in a bed where the Brown Recluse Spider has climbed, or when dressing with clothes or shoes where the spider has hidden itself.
