Brown Recluse

No we aren't here to tell you we found one. Because brown recluse spiders do not live in California.

Don't believe this last statement? Then please read the recently updated publication Pest Notes: Brown Recluse and Other Recluse Spiders by UC Riverside spider expert Richard S. Vetter.

We encourage all our subscribers to read the Pest Notes: Brown Recluse and Other Recluse Spiders to understand how this spider impacts (or doesn't impact) California residents.
