Please give me your best advice on getting rid of brown recluse spiders?

Can't say that I have ever heard of anyone stating hiring a pro makes them worse..can only say the homes I treat seem to happy. if you want to treat yourself, place flat sticky traps along baseboards, flip the furniture upside down to treat the spiders underneath with an insecticide, locate a micro encapsulated type insecticide and do more of a "baseboard" treatment for better results, treat the exterior with the insecticide products that attach to the garden hose along with cut down on clutter next to the home.
