[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 64035, member: 2211"] You could do a really good deep cleaning and then keep it up. Bag all your stored blankets, pillows, etc. Clean out cabinets and closets, vacuum well, including all nooks and window jambs, and then empty your vacuum bag. Keep floors, including laundry room of all damp or wet items. Be sure to brush or comb your animals after they've been out roaming around and shake out the door mat regularly. I was bitten by a recluse years ago. I recall each night seeing this scary looking spider in the corner of my bedroom and thinking it would be bad to kill it so I left it alone. Each night it would be in a different corner of the room. One morning while vacuuming, I saw it dead next to my side of the bed and didn't think anything of it. Within a couple of days, my arm itchy on the forearm. After a day or so it felt numb, completely dead like I couldn't feel a thing and there was radiating pain into my wrist and hand. After another day or so, the skin on my forearm began to peel layers and the skin underneath was a Barbie pink. I went to the ER and they took x-rays - no broken bones. It was deduced that I had been bitten by a spider. I immediately remembered the spider and told the DR. He gave me antibiotics and it took almost another 2 weeks to feel better, almost 4 weeks to completely heal and regain full use of my arm, wrist and hand. Very VERY scary. [/QUOTE]
