Totally agree with you. We also have fought the battle here with the dreaded brown recluse. At first, we too, had pest control come to our house fighting these mean little monsters to no avail. Then we bought the sticky traps and put these under furniture and such in the attic, house and garage. It was sickening to see how many brown recluse spiders we caught in these glue traps. We continue using these traps, have done away with mulch up close to our house (this attracts these spiders), replaced the mulch with river rock. Also look for "dust" webs. The brown recluse has a very unique web that doesn't look like other spider webs. These spiders are very difficult to get shed of.
