Me and my sister found either a brown recluse or a wolf spider on out staircase, what do i do? Help!!?

Question

it has a stripe down its back

Answer 1

vacuum works well.

Answer 2

step on it.

Answer 3

It's a wolf spider if it has a stripe down it's back. Their bite is venemous but not fatal. Make sure no one has gotten bit...

Even if it is a brown relcuse (which I highly doubt) make sure there are no bites because a brown recluse bite can result in losing whole chunks of your skin.

As for the spider, capture it and put it outside far away from your house.

Answer 4

If it's just a stripe it's either a wolf spider or possibly some kind of grass spider and is harmless, meaning there's no need to kill it and you should leave it alone or put it outside. A brown recluse would have a violin shape on its back.

Answer 5

Do you really need to ask???? Kill it before it makes a nest!

Answer 11

kill it!!!!!!!! my grandmother knew a lady who was bite by a reluse spider or here we call them fiddle back spiders anyway she died  so if you see one kill it okay

Answer 12

Not a recluse.

Answer 13

brown recluse ( Loxosceles reclusa) are smaller than wolf spiders and do not have a hairy appearance.The Brown recluse has what appears to be a silhouette of a violin on the back.

Answer 14

get a cup and catch it, then let it outdoors. or just leave it alone. Spiders have better things to do than to harass humans.

Answer 15

ok if it is a brown recluse it will most definetly kill you (the most deadly spider) don't know much about wolf spider but i would either kill it or find away to get rid of it kill it most likely MAKE SURE IT DIDN'T MAKE EGGS

Answer 16

o my god creepy!

put it in a jar until your parents come home then ask them

Answer 17

Well.. no use staring at it. One of you has to squash it or just leave it alone and wait for an adult to come. Or, it could just creep back into a hole and not bother you again :)
