First I ever heard of the Recluse curse was about 48 years ago,..Salem , ILL......A neighbor man who worked at the Post Office was bitten on the leg...Dr's, nobody knew what the heck it was. His sister, a nurse , came to visit and knew right away what it was...She lived in the South. They figure a recluse hitchhiked to Ill. on the mailbags.... If spray will kill regular spiders, recluses should starve to death eventually, right ? Just like that garter snake that was in the attic...I told hubby he would leave after he ate any stray mice he found. We put D Con up there every Fall, so no mice problems...Guess he's gone or starved one. Might put Piper up there but she might get down in the wall...We're getting her spayed so have a cat in the house for a few days. She ushered hubby off to bed, meowing a bit...He was highly amused..Better him than me !

Granny, and all. Here in Ca. and living in the country there are alot of field mice out here. So I have D-con stuck in every crook and cranny. There is a space in the hall between our bath and the heater that has the air vents going up from the bath rooms I guess. Well you can't get in there unless you tear our wall out, and they left a space around those pipes, any thing can come up there. Supposed to be sealed under there but over time and work under there things have changed I think, so I keep mice stuff there all the time. When I mow in the field it is so funny because those little buggers will be running all over the place. Little holes. We had a stom come through late yesterday afternoon and last night. Alot of wind but not as bad as they thought it would be, now they are saying possible thunder showers this afternoon and maybe hail. Well we shall see. The almonds have started blooming, and we always seem to get a storm around this time. Hadn't had any amt. since christmas. Snow was starting to melt in the mountains, which is to early. Not the time. Snow is supposed to drop lower we hope. Don't like it being colder in the valley but, need that snow up there. I enjoy how you talk about your place there on the mountain. Really down home people. We don't do a garden any more. Just to much for me and Kenneth is good in the beginning, but he doesn't help keep it up later on. Usually have a couple of tomato plants, but neighbors have more than they can use so that is where we usually get ours. Made bread pudding the other day, doubled the receipe and it is gone now. The Mr. loves it. that is what he got for valentines day.
