Brown Recluse
By Christina
I moved into my apartment in May 2010 and signed a year lease. A couple weeks after moving in I noticed many spiders (mainly in the shower and bedrooms) and contacted the manager. She then had them spray the entire building a few days later. A couple weeks after they had sprayed I saw some more spiders that looked exactly the same as the ones before. I called her and told her they were either house spiders or brown recluse, and she said she would have them spray again. They never sprayed again. I have sprayed twice with products I have purchased, and the spiders were gone for awhile after I sprayed. Then when I returned home from my vacation after being gone only 9 days, there were spiders everywhere! They were in my bed, more than 4 in the shower, some on the ceiling! I had to stay in a hotel. Right now I am staying at my sisters and have to drive 30 minutes to work everyday. I have asked to be able to move out because the spiders are dangerous and I am not staying in my apartment. The landlord was very rude and doesn’t even believe I have the spiders. I have pictures to prove it and have caught one and had it looked at by the biology professor of Kansas Wesleyan University! What can I do? I neeeeeed to get out of here!
Thank you,
Christina
