Hi, new here. I don’t know for sure if this is the right board or if I need to post somewhere else. I need help confirming this is a brown recluse and if it is, deciding what to do. Single family home, Southeast Nebraska. 14 year old house. I’m finding things online saying that they’re rarely found in single family homes in Nebraska so why us?! Not a cluttered house, shoes on the floor of closet that’s it. Only found just this one, out in the middle of the bathroom floor around midnight. This bathroom is right outside our walk-in closet and also has a jetted tub with an access space underneath. I keep sticky traps under the access space bc we once had a mouse under there. I did find two very tiny brown spiders on one trap when I looked after finding the full grown spider but they were so small I would have no idea, other than that nothing on those two traps. But I have yet to place any on baseboards and in the closet or under the bed. I’m trying to be rational and not freak out, although it’s 3am and I feel like I will never sleep again. Is it possible to have a fluke of one brown recluse? How do I know if I have an infestation? Do I need to move (kidding but not kidding)? Reading horror stories about trying to get rid of them and I don’t even know what pest control company to start with. Trying to tell myself if they’re here they’ve been here and we are all still not bitten and it’s safe to go to sleep, and to relax. Ugh!!!
