» The official BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER - HABITAT

 
The brown recluse spider lives inside houses as well as in its surroundings. Inside homes, the arachnid lives in dark places, such as cracks, corners, seldom used clothes, curtains and inside furniture. Yet, it is very common for a spider to get trapped in showers and bathtubs because of their smooth surface, and there have been lots of cases in which spiders bit the legs of a person who was having a bath.
