Beware of cleaning your sheds and wood piles and other enclosed areas. With the cooler weather in the Northeast, brown recluse spiders may hide there and instead of the usual May arrival, these may go into July due to the cooler weather and be more predominant. They deliver a nasty bite and you will develop necrotizing of the skin and possibly lose parts of your body. Spiders are light brown, thin body's not unlike the common daddy long leg variety, only they have stripes (usually) on the legs. The only spider I do not like more than this one is the hobo spider. Look them up on google so you get a good look at their appearance which may subtly vary according to location and climate and age of spider.
