Read this shit. Gives me the creeps, man.
An infestation of 2,055 brown recluse spiders (Araneae: Sicariidae) and no envenomations in a Kansas home:
Vetter RS, Barger DK. Source
Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA.
During a 6-mo period, 2,055 brown recluse spiders, Loxosceles reclusa Gertsch and Mulaik, were collected in a 19th-century-built, currently occupied home in Lenexa, KS. We conservatively estimate that at least 800 of these spiders were large enough to cause envenomation. Additional collections from more typically infested homes in Missouri and Oklahoma in 2001 yielded 45 and 30 brown recluse spiders, respectively. Despite these infestations, no envenomations of the inhabitants of these three homes occurred. Considering the levels of infestations with no bites in the homes presented here, nonendemic areas in the United States, which typically lack recluse spider populations and have had zero to few verified specimens of the spider, do not have sufficient numbers of brown recluse spiders to make envenomation a likely scenario. Despite this, physicians from nonendemic recluse areas often diagnose brown recluse bites which, therefore, are unlikely to be correct.
The fact that nobody got bit is pretty amazing. But just knowing that you were sleeping in a dwelling that housed more than 2,000 brown recluses...I don't think I'd ever sleep the same again.

And no OP, what you have there is not a brown recluse. I did hear that brown recluses are actually extremely abundant and more often than not a household will at least house a few of them. Even if you never see them (in the attic of garage probably). I don't know how accurate that is, but that's what I've been told.

Snakes are much more venomous though. Those are something to watch out for.
well this are recluse bites...  I think its something to worry about....
also in australia they have a very mean spider http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/queensland-alert-over-giant-funnel-web-sightings/story-e6freoof-1225794850537

Recluse spider or not, kill it with fire before it lays thousands of eggs!

OP: looks more like a wolf spider, but it's really hard to tell. if you find more, try not to smash them

i've lived with recluses in two places that i know for sure. one was an apartment where they lived in the shared wall/firewall area. neighbor had them in his bathroom, and i had them in two rooms plus a closet area. in both places, the recluses were aggressive. i dunno if they're easily threatened or naturally aggressive, but walking in the room or turning a light on, they'd raise their front legs and upper body up
i rented a little cabin on a couple acres for about a year and knew there were recluses and black widows in the dilapidated barn, but not in the house. when spring came on strong and it started to warm up (no a/c), the recluses came out of the woodworks (literally). i was finding them in my food cabinets, couple around the couch; they were all in the attic and would sometimes come down a drooping, ceiling light-fixture; they also lived in between the walls in the bathroom and where they attic met the level of the ceiling of the roof in the bedroom (built on somewhat of a hill/slant).
i killed at least 25 recluses in the house, and destroyed a small nest and eggs. i imagine there were hundreds, if not thousands all in that house and barn

AD, those pics are from extreme cases. 95% of brown recluse bites won't look anything like that. Most bites in fact will heal with zero treatment. That said though, yes, they should definitey be respected.

Yeah that's cool. Or you could read about recluse spiders.
Quote:
As suggested by its specific epithet reclusa (recluse), the brown recluse spider is rarely aggressive, and bites from the species are uncommon. In 2001, more than 2,000 brown recluse spiders were removed from a heavily infested home in Kansas, yet the four residents who had lived there for years were never harmed by the spiders, despite many encounters with them.[13] The spider usually bites only when pressed against the skin, such as when tangled within clothes, towels, bedding, inside work gloves, etc. Many human victims report having been bitten after putting on clothes that had not been worn recently, or had been left for many days undisturbed on the floor. However, the fangs of the brown recluse are so tiny they are unable to penetrate most fabric.[14]
The bite frequently is not felt initially and may not be immediately painful, but it can be serious. The brown recluse bears a potentially deadly hemotoxic venom. Most bites are minor with no necrosis. However, a small number of brown recluse bites do produce severe dermonecrotic lesions (i.e. necrosis); an even smaller number produce severe cutaneous (skin) or viscerocutaneous (systemic) symptoms. In one study of clinically-diagnosed brown recluse bites, skin necrosis occurred 37% of the time, while systemic illness occurred 14% of the time.[15] In these cases, the bites produced a range of symptoms common to many members of the Loxosceles genus known as loxoscelism, which may be cutaneous and viscerocutaneous. In very rare cases, bites can even cause hemolysis—the bursting of red blood cells.[16]
Most brown recluse bites do not result in necrosis or systemic effects. When both types of loxoscelism do result, systemic effects may occur before necrosis, as the venom spreads throughout the body in minutes. Children, the elderly, and the debilitatingly ill may be more susceptible to systemic loxoscelism. The systemic symptoms most commonly experienced include nausea, vomiting, fever, rashes, and muscle and joint pain. Rarely, such bites can result in hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, organ damage, and even death.[17] Most fatalities are in children under the age of seven[18] or those with a weak immune system.
While the majority of brown recluse spider bites do not result in any symptoms, cutaneous symptoms occur more frequently than systemic symptoms. In such instances, the bite forms a necrotizing ulcer that destroys soft tissue and may take months to heal, leaving deep scars. These bites usually become painful and itchy within 2 to 8 hours. Pain and other local effects worsen 12 to 36 hours after the bite, and the necrosis develops over the next few days.[19] Over time, the wound may grow to as large as 25 cm (10 inches). The damaged tissue becomes gangrenous and eventually sloughs away.
