Are they really in Tennessee?
Yes. The brown recluse is found in Tennessee, and it prefers dark, quiet places where it's rarely disturbed.
Where they hide
Closets, attics, basements, garages, storage boxes, shoes and clothing left on the floor, and behind furniture that rarely moves.
How to identify one
Brown recluses are light to medium brown and often have a darker violin-shaped mark on the back. Many harmless spiders look similar, so a professional identification is the safest way to know.
When to call a professional
If you've seen what looks like a brown recluse, or you're finding spiders regularly, an inspection can locate where they're living and treat those areas.
