This is a wolf spider. They have “setae” or hair like appendages on their legs. A brown recluse has 18 hair like appendages (that are sensory perceptive organs because they don’t have antenna) on his/her legs, x 8 which is a total of 144 (don’t quote me exact on the numbers but it’s close enough) When the brown recluse walks across a micro encapsulated material (which is tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in a spot treatment of 1’x2’.) So he walks across it in the middle of the night, he picks up on average 43 micro encapsulated bubbles of active pesticide. Then he goes and hides and grooms himself to clean all that off his legs. The micro encapsulated bubbles are busting and the active chemical kills him/her plus contaminates hiding areas. Here is a wolf spider starting to groom himself until he realizes he is being recorded on a paper plate. 😂
But same goes for other insects. They have spiracles that hang under their body they breathe through. Plus have the spines (or hair like appendages on their legs most usually). They are picking up the micro encapsulation as well. So when you are killing general pest, you are also removing food sources for predator pest such as spiders and wasp. That’s why it’s called Pest Control. You control one to control another. And knowing the biology and life cycle of each local pest in our area, helps you decide on what products work the best between dust, concentrates and growth regulators. As well as bio pesticides and mechanical means. But thought this was a cool video. The more you know. 💫
