Beware of Brown Recluse Spiders!!!

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 8/29/2004
Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2004
 
Besides the fact that these apartments/townhomes haven't been maintained or kept up very well, (they are really run down) my townhome was absolutely infested with brown recluse spiders. Management treated me like I was crazy because I felt they should take action to rid the apartment of them, rather than just coming in to spray. (Spraying doesn't even affect this type of spider by the way.) These spider bites are very poisonous, causing severe tissue death, and can even be fatal in some people, especially children. I found upwards of 50 spiders in my basement (adults, not counting all the egg sacs and hundreds of babies running rampant) plus 15 in my upstairs area running around in broad daylight. One day I was sitting on my couch and one jumped on my arm...I was luckily able to knock it off before it bit me!

It's not so much the fact that I had the spiders, but rather the way I was treated. They treated me like I was crazy because I requested they do something to actually take care of the problem. They were constantly in denial of even having a problem. Management told me they had never had any complaints about spiders until I moved in there. I talked to the girl that lived there before me, and she said that she filed complaints all the time because the spiders were so bad. I had to throw away a lot of my furniture, clothes, shoes, etc because they were infested with egg sacs and hundreds of baby recluse spiders running around. You can't take these items to your new place because you'll bring the infestation right along with you. Management was rude and gave me the runaround. I was luckily able to get out of my lease, but still had to pay for two months worth of rent while I couldn't even live there. I should send them a bill for all of the property I lost due to their lack of maintenance and their denial of a health hazard in these townhomes.
