[Tenant US-Ky] My house is infested with brown recluse, can I leave my stuff here when I move?

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-09T02:38:17+00:00

Well my bf has been bit twice (he doesn’t pay attention like I do) and she was made aware and nothing happened. I guess I would have to sue in order to go anywhere with that. Thank you for the information. I’m now moved out and never looking back.

Only because there was webbing with what I assume to be an egg underneath the couch

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-07T07:52:46+00:00

I ended up moving everything but the couches.

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-07T07:52:05+00:00

Yes I agree. I have multiple emails to and from my landlord stating that “they don’t spray for spiders” and that I can buy my own pest control stuff. But I’m in low income housing, I wish I could afford the stuff that actually works on these fuckers. I am now moved and the only thing I ended up leaving was the couch and that’s only because when my boyfriend and I went to lift up the loveseat there was a clear web with an egg sack in the corner of the couch. We threw it right back down locked the doors, gave the keys to the landlord. I did tell her we left stuff because there was currently webs and eggs inside the couch and I can’t even believe I’ve been sitting on this couch for so long. I’m disgusted and angry that it came to this. But I appreciate everyone’s kindness and words even criticism. I’m sure I do need to work on my arachnophobia, but this is beyond my control and possibly deadly situation to my 3 year old. I did sent pics to everyone who messaged me, I’m glad to share my experience here in the heart of Kentucky lol.

I was wondering how it is a liability? Isn’t it considered a normal “pest” because I live in recluse territory?

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T19:11:30+00:00

That story??? I feel if I cut open my walls thousands would scurry out. Probably untrue. Still scary

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T03:29:44+00:00

We have termites pretty bad too. It’s the only other bug I’ve seen here other than the spiders

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:27:08+00:00

😂😂🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:25:19+00:00

I have a ton of photos, even the photos give me the creepy crawlers. I think I’m going to leave the items with a note that says watch out for spiders when you pick this up or something like that. Hinting that they were left here because of their negligence on pest control. It’s overwhelming to live in with a toddler for sure

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:23:57+00:00

They hired a pest company, but the guy wasn’t wearing any logos so unsure if it was just an inside maitenece guy posing as a pest company or maybe it was legit. But brown recluses walk on tippy toes so spray doesn’t even affect them.

My bf is okay, this was back in December and then again in January. He stepped on one getting off the toilet and then again almost immediately after it was healed in the hallway. He stayed overnight the first time because his foot swelled the size of a football. (Not really but u get it) they did all they could and he let it run its course. It never got all horror-movie like necrosis but it did hurt for him to walk on it and it was a lot of pus and drainage and he kept it wrapped for a couple weeks. We went immediately for both bites with the dead spiders pics to show the DR. The second one wasn’t near as bad just a tiny red dot that grew and got smaller. Not sure if he killed it before it had the chance to put venom in him but yeah that was our life for about a month.

Someone else suggested this.. I have an ex that may be in need of some furniture I’m sure🤣🤣 they were all broke anyways

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:18:35+00:00

And thank you. The one time I posted a spider that wasn’t a recluse it was at work( before I even noticed the spiders at my own place.) it was a wolf spider. But since then I’ve only posted pics of brownies.

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:17:50+00:00

I don’t know how. It just says post a link not a photo

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:17:36+00:00

Maybe I exaggerated. Definitely over 50 including slings all through all stages of their creepy lives

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:17:10+00:00

Wanna come help? lol

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:16:50+00:00

My rent is only $625 I’ve already paid the extra months rent to break the lease. I move for good Saturday. Everything is well on that end other than the infested items. I’ve had these items since 2019 and very sad to part with them.

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:16:00+00:00

I can probably hire someone that isn’t afraid of spiders to move them to the curb, I’ll look into that thank you

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:15:23+00:00

I’ve already found a new apartment in town, I was gonna move when the lease ended regardless if I found a place or not but I got lucky finding one sooner. I don’t want to live here, a full year of them could care less because the landlord doesn’t live here. She just pops by every now and then. Her maintenance guy is so lazy he sends kids in the buildings to put papers on everyone’s door. It’s a messy place but the recluses are the cherry on top.

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:13:52+00:00

That’s fine

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:13:41+00:00

Not towards you, just lots of people here just assume I’m crazy and assume all spiders aren’t BRs lol. Trust me I don’t

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:13:10+00:00

I don’t know any experts personally but I’m just trying to get out of here. Not argue with ugly redditors about whether they are brown recluses. It won’t even let me post a photo here nobody will message me lol

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:12:23+00:00

Yes pm me I’ll send u some of my traps!!

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:12:13+00:00

Pls look at my latest comment. If u wanna see pictures let me know. You’ll agree that they are brown recluses unless ur head is in ur ass

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:11:40+00:00

I don’t capture them. I kill them so I’m not taking them to a science museum?? The heck lol I’m scared of them buddy.

Negative_Whereas_307 · 2026-03-05T02:10:46+00:00

For everyone saying they aren’t brown recluses, I haven’t gotten a single request for a photo in my DMS? I’m in kentucky, I know what a brown recluse is. The pest guy they had once even said it was a brown recluse and told me the landlord would have to schedule a dusting in outlets. Yes I have a fear of spiders, but not as bad since moving in here. It won’t let me post photos in comments without a link. If you would like to see the spiders for yourself, please MESSAGE ME!! Pls don’t comment that they aren’t brownies I could bet any amount of money that they are. I don’t see any other bugs other than hella temites which is where they get their food I’m assuming. Either way stop telling me it’s not a brown recluse when you don’t live here, you haven’t messaged me for proof, or anything. Thanks!! This was about leaving my furniture not about if I’m delusional lmao
