Brown Recluse Spiders know they are in trouble when they see Dan The Bug Man
That’s right 😎
I am currently pursuing a job as a pest control technician and your videos are awesome for learning and tips
Thanks!! Good luck!
I was bit on my boob while picking up sticks in SE Michigan on my 4 acre parcel. I didn't feel a thing while working outside. After I took a shower I noticed that my boob looked like it grew another boob and it was flaming red and purple in the center.
I went to see my doctor at University of Michigan Hospital. He sent me to Urgent Care.
This happened years back when U of M and Univ of Denver were 2 places that had Brown Spider specialists. They were so excited! The venom of the spider usually liquefies the surrounding tissue. I didn't get any of that because I was on steroids for my asthma. I told the docs that nothing could kill me because of the meds for the asthma!

I manage an apartment complex in Southern Illinois and we have had a recluse problem for years. I found a very good exterminator several years back, but he retired. Sadly, the guy I have now isn't that great, so I'm always on the lookout for something that kills these little buggers on the spot...having used Easy-Off, straight ammonia, spray paint, etc., but they just shake it off and run away. Recently I was cleaning an apartment and was using Mr. Clean Clean Freak mist, yellow bottle, and saw a recluse in the tub. I gave it a shot of that stuff and it curled up and died instantly. I was so thrilled. I showed my bug guy how well it worked when he was here and he was amazed. Don't know what's in it, but it really works. So much easier to squirt this on them than to try chasing them around and stomping on them.
They shake off paint wtf
Must be the lemon. I heard they don’t like lemon or peppermint.
Vinegar kills them too. They don't like the smell of peppermint, cinnamon & lemon. Ants & other bugs don't like it either it's good to go ahead and spray it or even make something you can spray it with and place around your home, like under your bed so they'll at least go to another area away from you because they don't like the smell.
I was just mopping with Mr Clean and a Huge one crawled out from somewhere 😮
@@lfuentes4098I'm about to saturate my new apartment in it!!
I used to live in an apartment infested with them. The traps I set out used to look exactly like that one he showed. I feared even going to sleep at night because I thought one would crawl into bed with me after I saw how many were glued to the trap under my bed. The only thing that helped a bit was constantly using glue traps, having nothing for them to hide under or behind (I was poor and had little furniture or junk anyways) and using TONS of desiccants along with running the AC frequently. Keeping the environment dry seemed to greatly deter them for some reason, although it made my skin feel horrible. Thank God I don't live in that shithole anymore.
I'm dealing with that right now 😭
@@Dipnd0t I'm so sorry. You'll get through it I promise: ( it did get better for me after I did a lot of those things and set our traps. There was definitely less of them so it's possible to almost get rid of them!
You do a really good job, Dan, i'm impressed! I'm currently battling brown recluse spiders. I need to get some of the products you're using.
On a off-note, one thing that blew my mind is they have SOOO much stuff (a lot of it nice), but have sheets on the windows as curtains. Sell some (or a LOT!) of that stuff and buy some decent curtains. Doesn't matter how nice your stuff is if you're going to kill the room with sheets for curtains.
this video reminds me I really need to clean up my bedroom 😂😂😂
Haha nice me too actually
dan is really out here spitting game for everyone
Your vids have made me feel both paranoid and incredibly secure at the same timd
we've got an influx of brown widows
that we spend more time hunting and fumigating and applying onslaught fast cap in our company. great video ! I haven't come across a brown recluse and I've been doing this 15 years
I’ve heard good things about onslaught! Yeah they are super common in Kentucky
@@DanTheBugMan onslaught is freaking amazing the microencapsulated product works wonders
should really be wearing a respirator a lot more often, with all that poison. Those things can have a serious impact on health over time
Now I've gone and gotten myself paranoid, going around my house with a flashlight looking for signs of brown recluse spiders.
Your state must not be too strict on your laws on PPE? Here in California we would get in big trouble for working with absolutely no PPE. Be safe man, love the videos!
Thank you! Yeah I should wear more but I’m just lazy
States don’t matter, he is self employed.
He is not self employed. He is employed by toby's pest control in kentucky and yeah I don't see anyyyy PPE. Agricultural inspectors pull over pest control and lawn fertilization technicians all the time. I was once warned by one that I can't roll my long sleeves up while spraying. But entertaining videos!
Whether you’re self employed or not. The law is the law. Some states are stricter than others but every state has rules and regulations that must be followed or there will be disciplinary or fines. PPE is not a thing to be lazy on, your health matters the most and for someone who’s career it is to spray toxic chemicals all day, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. This stuff can cause serious health problems in the long run. I been doing pest control for 7 years now and I’ve seen what it can do to those that don’t respect the danger behind not protecting yourself. God bless you all.
@@GilbertPelayo.💯👍
Awesome content. I was on the edge of my seat. 😂
Thank you for this video! Do you do any recluse removal work in Tennessee?
Thanks for this! How long do you have the family out of the house for a treatment like this?
Couple hours
Every summer like clockwork brown recluses start crawling around in my Kentucky apartment. We are not cluttered, have sticky traps out, and are diligent about checking and cleaning. They seem to come out of nowehere... one was randomly on my couch last night and we see a few during the day. It's pretty scary when I have kiddos.
Bro, I was thinking I'll fly you out here to treat my home, but 10 seconds later you said you're in Western KY. I'm in Grand Rivers! I'll be in touch.
Hi Dan: Need someone who is good in Tennessee, Nashville area. Also, how long do you have to be out of the house, and also, what about small children and pets being in the house afterwards?
Onslaught Fastcap is the undisputed champ
or
Spectre 2 SC for B.R. bcos they’re Scavengers. Non repellent for the secondary kill.
Either one does an outstanding job in my opinion.
We moved into our house 2 years ago, since day 1 we have had countless spiders. And not the small type, but giant house spiders and brown recluse‘s alike. And in my bedroom specifically, since it used to be an old garage I have had the most. My bedroom has a door to the outside that I leave open quite often because it gets really hot and humid in my room plus when it’s shut it doesn’t seal properly and there’s quite a few gaps spiders can easily get through. The wall is also old and has many cracks and gaps in it as well, my room is also kind of used as storage so it’s always cluttered and has lots of shelving. I’ve tried getting the exterminator out quite a few times ( he is coming to my house again in a week ) and it’s only ever temporary got rid of the problem, I frequently vacuum and mop my room and try to keep it picked up. I have 4 spider traps in my room that always fill up in just a few weeks.I also use essential oil bug spray. And yet I still see multiple spiders a week in just my room! I’m begging someone to give me advice and a solution to my problem help I’m freaking scared the shit of spiders. I’m going to commit die.

MGK Onslaught Fastcap.
They say that direct sprays obviously work but residual sprays don’t work well for spiders. I’ve used that talstar for roaches before in restaurants and homes and that is a fantastic chemical. To get the professional products like you have southern states or agri-supply is a great place to get them.
We have an infestation of brown recluse spiders. They aren’t in the attic though. They seem to be mainly under the drop ceiling in the basement and also in the return air ducts. We have sticky traps and have paid for monthly bug service for a season and now do pestie, but they aren’t going away. How do I get them out of my return air ducts and out of my drop ceiling? Can I fog those places?
I live in Monroe, Louisiana and my brother was bitten 3 times by a brown recluse spider… twice on his right thigh area, once on the left thigh. He spent a month in the hospital, had two surgeries and numerous rounds of powerful antibiotics. He almost died. I have heard that if you are bitten by a brown recluse and the spider injects venom, if you do not kill the spider that bit you, it will come back the next day and time to “feed” where you were bitten. I always thought that to be a myth until that happened to my brother. This was in 2020 right around the Covid pandemic but he is alive and well today! We call him Spider-Man or “Spidey” now 😂 …. Thank you for sharing your videos and informative information Dan…. Knowledge is Power!!
sorry to hear about your brother, doesn't make sense about the feeding though since it does not get a meal off your brother, maybe it was just a vengeful little devil. Happy he is ok
Man I'm currently dealing with these in sw missouri. Dozens in my closets I've got a huge basement and attic. What's the strongest stuff I can buy ? Thinking dust and spray
Question about this sort of scenario where that attic was FULL of bins. Would the dust make its away into the bins? Moreover, would you expect the brown recluses to nest or be in the bins, or do they typically stay out of enclosed enviornments like that due to the low food influx that would cross there path? Also, after a treatment like the one in this video, how long and how many subsequent visits would be expected to fully eradicate the brown recluse problem, if ever? Great videos btw, love ya :)
whats the best and quickest way to completely eradicate a brown recluse infestation in a storage unit and in a car in said storage unit
Do you have to see the target in order for you to treat spiders and apply chemicals?
My apartment has them everywhere I put out glue traps like 15-20 and almost every trap has a spider on it. It's 4 apartments where I live and 3 apartment has brown recluse that I know of. How can I find out where there coming from I hate spiders and my 6yr old daughter is so scared of all bugs I need help.
Whenever I visit Nashville, I always take those sticky traps with me in case there are any Brown Recluses in my hotel room! I would love to see one in real life. I would also love to see a Black Widow.
I did have a Kissing Bug (Assassin Bug) in my hotel room once, which I was not happy about, as they are way more dangerous than the Brown Recluse!
There was an older woman maybe in her early to mid 60s that lived on my street when I was like 9-10 years old who got bitten by one. My mom told me at the time that she went to grab a can in her root cellar when it happened. She was actually in the hospital for like 2 weeks and lost part of her finger because she had such a severe reaction.
I thought that was a spider on your shirt in the beginning of the show 😂
I think you should be wearing your respirator and at least gloves while dealing with chemicals.
Dan the Bug Man, I have found 2 brown recluse in my new apartment in Cincinnati. They said they sprayed for them but I found another. How can I explain to the apartment that the problem is in the building, not just my unit?
Omg NOOOOOOO!! 😱 I moved to Ohio 2 years ago and I’m so scared of finding a brown recluse…I was in Cincinnati but I’m in Dayton now….I pray that I NEVER come in contact with a brown recluse ….good luck and I hope you get the problem resolved
I would just keep requesting a spray for spiders. If they have a hired pest company then the pest company will know how to treat them. If the landlords are doing it themselves then that might not cut it. Set out some glue boards to monitor
Hopefully you don’t! Usually the farther north the less spiders but they’re still up there
These are being found where we live in Michigan ,
I saw a couple inside my fiancé‘s house. He sprayed we put down sticky traps we bought diatomaceous earth and bug bombs (foggers). Also I did call an exterminator today and they will be coming out and spraying regularly. I really hope this works. I haven’t seen more than three on a sticky trap sometimes none on a sticky trap but I am scared😬. House is very old so i’m sure it’s never been sprayed before old guy lives there
I am also wondering why he had the house a year and a half and I have never seen anything until now. Remodeled the whole main level took out walls etc. and we never saw eggs or spiders. However we have just now started cleaning the old nasty mess filled basement so maybe that is why
Thank you so much. Great video. Everyone SHARE THIS.
Literally the most attractive bug guy I’ve ever seen. Just sayin.
Want to know an epic trick ? If you have to goose out a large area with delta dust, or Diatomaceous earth, you use a milwaukee battery leaf blower and pour the container into the intake. You could do those whole areas you cant get to in 3 seconds. Literally.
I did a huge 3 story horse barn for a customer and man it was infested with brown recluse spiders! Ive never seen so many or as big. The walls were lapped, so I basically had to spray evey inch of the walls because they were there lol
I wish you were around at my last house….only had wolf spiders but they were the scariest things
What's your thoughts about the chemical ONSLAUGHT FOR SPIDERS OR OTHER USES.
Onslaught works awesome 👌
We've lived in this house 17 years and last summer was the first time I have ever seen brown recluses here, but I have found them in almost every room of the house. I first saw them in the master bathroom upstairs and questioned if they were coming from the attic because the hatch is in the walk-in closet. I had just emptied the entire closet and painted it 6 months before and donated alot of clothing so the closet isn't cluttered. I now vacuum against the baseboards frequently as I've seen them there and have put the sticky traps literally everywhere. If I see one in the wild I smash it with my shoe. This whole thing has been very unnerving as I am a nurse and have seen the damage they can do. I'm contemplating caulking along the bottom of the door frames and where the quarter round meets the floor as I have seen them run up under there. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to seal that attic trap door with maybe the foam insulation caulk rope or something like that.
Make sure all the spiders are dead using insecticide multiple times and sticky traps come up clean for months before any type of sealing
WOOF, Idk how you even do it? Thank GOD i live in a State that they are not Frequent in, But i know when I see a few Yellow Sac's in my house i panic and want to moveout, So I couldn't imagine how you feel! I wouldn't even be able to sleep comfortably at night. Best of luck with this all and I really hope it works out for you! Them Nasty things
Most people don't even know they have hem. Then one day they realize that their whole damned house is infested.
@@kingdavid3790 I don't go barefoot in the dark! If I get up during the night, I turn a light on to make sure I don't step on a spider, because that's when I see them 98% of the time is after 9:00 PM.
that's pretty much what happened here. One night I walked into the bathroom and there it was. I had my phone in my hand so I took a quick picture because it was frozen in place, then whipped my shoe off and smashed it. After that I kept seeing them. I kept putting down more sticky traps until finally I gave up and called the exterminator. If I had realized it didn't cost as much as I was afraid I would have called sooner.
@@artkyger3425
I got the heebie jeebies just watching. Guess whose afraid of checking in the attic and crawl space now. 😅 My tenant said she saw two of these in her bedroom. She relocated them outside. Quite frankly when spiders are inside I find a heavy shoe. But do I really need to look for them in the attic? There’s no storage up there. Just a crawl space.
Dan you are so handsome i hope you arent still doing extermination because those pesticides will kill you. They give you a plethora ofrespiratory issues not to mention cancer. Please i hope and pray you are onto something better. Send some photos into a modeling agency or to a designer label like Givenchy or send into GQ!
Well thank you!! I try to be very safe around the chemicals
Can you not use talstar on the baseboard
I found three brown recluse spiders in my apartment in the last couple of days. Save me Dan. No seriously, I’m freaked out
I'm in MA and unfortunately they have made the way out here hate them I have a torch I use we also have northern widows which i am fine with
Dan I’m gonna say it’s not easy to spot them with all the debris up in the attic. Like your videos though.
Cant even imagine this type of infestation
I’ve seen worse!
If you were in my area id hire you in an instant. I am currently undergoing an infestation in a newly purchased house. They are quite literally everywhere
No bugs for then to feed in it attic tho so I wouldn’t think they’re gone frequent the attic 🤔
Yeah that’s logical but these spiders can go 6 MONTHS without eating :(
I need someone to tell me if I got bit by brown recluse or not I have a picture please help.
I think you should look in dark pots and in furniture cabinits
If there's one thing that will make me clean up my house it's brown recluse spiders!
Lol yes good!
Couldn’t bug bombs be used?
Used to live in Henderson KY and they were EVERYWHERE
Oh yeah they are all over this area!
This triggered my Aracnopbobia, but in the best way!
I have dogs don’t want any spry to hurt pets if they eat it
It's like that movie, Arachnophobia. You know, if you are going to shoot the bugs directly, you can use dish soap in a spray bottle. Way safer for you, the people and the environment. Gentrol is an absolute big no in areas where there is natural bodies of water, street drains, water run off of any kind, sprinkler systems, rain. Also, there is no way to know how it will effect other animals, but if it gets in the water imagine the horror to the fish stocks. It is bad! Actually all pesticides need to be used with caution with respect to water, rain, pets and people. I'm getting the glue boards and doing a set on Monday. Oh my gosh this place is a spider zone.
My last two homes have both had recluse infestations. I greatly reduced the spider population with glue boards and bug bombs. Don't let anyone tell you that bug bombs wont kill the spiders -- they do kill them..... And they are pretty cheap.
Glue boards are great! What product were the bug bombs?
Just the ones found at Walmart.
"I don't know what to do with my hands and arms..."
Thank You so so much for all your help.A Big One was coming towards me in the kitchen late in the night. Squished Him.
Have you ever been bit by one?
Wish you worked in Louisville. Know anyone good that works here? I just had one drop from my ceiling into my toilet while I was peeing 😳. I've found 6 in the last two months and I'm about to burn my house down 🤣
Wouldn’t it be easier to just set off like a bug bomb that we get every nook and cranny of the house
Good idea but u won't be able to stay home for awhile
Damn man that's a big recluse that bastard has to be the size of a freaking quarter!
Living up to a few years??? Good lord!
Yep they are crazy!
I sent you an email yesterday about the poor service I received from orkin. For $300 he sprayed the inside and outside perimeter, same as I have already done. I told him they're in the attic and he said he wasn't qualified to treat the attic. He said the spiders can borrow into the insulation and would cost up to $9000 to treat. Im a disabled veteran living in a little 2 bedroom house in rural Tennessee. I don't have crap around the house. My God I can only imagine how many spiders are in the house you just treated.
Hey Melanie yes I just saw the email! I hate stories about Orion. Too much corporate policies. Just keep calling them to come back. If you paid them then they have to warranty the quote. If not get a different local company
@@DanTheBugMan thank you
Yeah O and other big companies are in the insulation biz now . They want to convince you to tear it out and re- install.
Great video. Please protect yourself from these pesticides. Wear eye protection, and breathing apparatus. You're too young to be exposed to all this toxicity.
Onslaught is way than talstar for spiders
Why don't you ever bring a vacuum?
Interesting
Fire is the only way
Kentucky 🎉
I’m too old to move. Kentucky is a nightmare!!
I have multiple wounds and bites
You should have used Onslaught FastCap for the spiders. Fuck gentrol. Just because it has an IGR, If you want a good IGR, you gotta go with NyGuard. As far as the PT goes, ShockWave1 would have been more sufficient.
Yeah I’ve heard great things about onslaught! Never used it though. Yes shockwave is great but more expensive than PT
I came about wrong last time. I apologize.
@@redreaperpestfiles6680 awesome response
🥰😍😌🥰 Dan the bug man is smoking hot 🥵
I dunno what ta do with my hands!! 🤣🤣🤣
No ppe, wow.
Y-YEARS?! SPIDERS CAN LIVE UP TO YEARS?? NONONONO-
i thought they only lived a couple of like..... DAYS 😭😭😭😭
🥳🥳
I cannot help but feel bad for these creatures. What a horrible way to die. I wish there were kinder ways to get bugs out of your home because they are so important to our ecosystem. In some places bug populations have declined by up to 70%
Since they are the base of the food chain on land thats pretty damn bad.
Wowwww
Yep
Dude shouldn’t you wear long leave clothing and pants?
Spiders aren't insects?
Easiest, safest way is to spray diatomaceous earth, everywhere, its safe, and effective.
Nasty, and they don't just go away by keeping things clean. Recluse create their own reality. If you see them, deal with'em~
Yep true! Cleaning will definitely help me treat though
just burn the house down and those spiders are history
God help us
Please! Do not speak or breath air around bottle, after squeezing poison poof! We care about you too! Great info! Apostolic Church Community Acts 2:38 saved
Molt??? So not a dead spider??? In other words it means the damn thing is still alive???
@ D D I think you are talking about the part where Dan showed what looked like just another live spider up in that attic, but as he explained, it was actually just the old shell/skin one of the spiders had shed as they grow
@@dogmomma4019 oh heck this is definitely worse! BC it means there's a live one somewhere. And it's bigger. 🥺 Thanks for the clarification though. 👍
@@DD-hp9vo my pleasure! I just had patriot pest control out to my house Friday to spray and bomb my house. I have wolf spider's and other ones that may be harmless but they look scary and are too big to be anywhere near my bedroom!!!
