====Spider population control==== Due to increased fear of these spiders prompted by greater public awareness of their presence in recent years, the extermination of domestic brown recluses is performed frequently in the lower midwestern United States. Brown recluse spiders possess a variety of adaptive abilities, including the ability to survive up to 10 months with no food or water.<ref name=Sandidge> {{cite journal |vauthors=Sandidge JS, Hopwood JL |year=2005 |title=Brown recluse spiders: A review of biology, life history and pest management |journal=[[Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science]] |volume=108 |issue=3β4 |pages=99β108 |doi=10.1660/0022-8443(2005)108[0099:BRSARO]2.0.CO;2 |s2cid=84863537 |jstor=20058665 }} </ref> Additionally, these spiders survive significantly longer in a relatively cool, thermally stable environment.<ref name=Elzinga> {{cite journal |last=Elzinga |first=R.J. |year=1977 |title=Observations on the longevity of the brown recluse spider, ''Loxosceles reclusa'' {{small|(Gertsch & Mulaik)}} |journal=[[Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society]] |volume=50 |issue=2 |pages=187β188 |jstor=25082920 }} </ref>
