This is great, except brown recluse spiders are not aggressive. They only bite when disturbed and scared, such as when they are being crushed in your clothing.

I just found the one who has bitten me twice in the last month. The scary thing is that it was on the swing set. I would move the swings to cut the grass under the set and that must have disturbed it. I hope it was the only one!
