I've never bothered to pay for exterminators or anything and generally I don't mind spiders. However, I went to school with a girl that had a recluse bite on her wrist that scarred into a big medallion shaped scar where a watch would sit; kind odd looking.
I've also seen the necrosis on dogs from recluse bites. So a recluse scares the bejesus out of me, especially since they live in shoes and the bites rarely hurt until your flesh starts to rot.
So I pick up my golf shoes last summer and I see a couple of soft brown spiders no bigger than a penny. I get pretty close to take a look at them..."MOTHER OF GOD!"
Went and looked online again to be sure, yup, a pair of recluses living under my golf shoe.
I called the exterminator and told him to nuke the site from orbit. Fire, floods, whatever it took. He didn't really believe me, but when he was done he confirmed that he found a few in the garage.
Yeah, I'm an irrational pussy when it comes to that one single type of spider.
