Yes. My brother caught a few decent sized Brown Recluse Spiders and kept them in a smallish container, so he decided to feed a cricket to them and the next day found that the cricket had killed all of the spiders.

What a brown recluse eats?

The brown recluse spider is nocturnal, which means it searches for food during the nighttime hours. It is also a scavenger, preferring to feed on dead insects rather than live ones. If the brown recluse spider cannot find any dead insects, however, it will kill live ones, and it can travel quite a far distance from its web to find an insect to kill, often ending up indoors, where it will hide in items like shoes and clothing on the floor when daylight arrives.

Learning about the Characteristics of the Brown Recluse Spider?

Out of the thousands of species of spiders in the world the brown recluse has some of the most fascinating characteristics. Consider these unique traits of the brown recluse spider. A brown recluse spider lives up to its name by spending most of its time in quiet, dark spaces. Brown recluses make their homes in crawl spaces underneath buildings, corners of attics, and even under fallen logs. These spiders live in places where there is very little human activity. Though these spiders are not aggressive, they will bite if they feel threatened. Since brown recluses don't like to be around humans, bites usually occur in an accidental way. For instance, a person may try on a pair of shoes that have been in the attic for several years only to get a bite from a brown recluse that has made its home in the old shoes. In short, it's rare to find a brown recluse wandering around outside its home. Another interesting characteristic of a brown recluse spider is the marking on its back. Sometimes brown recluses are called, fiddle spiders' because of the marking that looks like a violin on the upper side of their body. Trying to identify a brown recluse spider by this marking can be tricky because the design may be hard to see especially if it's a young spider. Furthermore, not all brown recluses are the same shade of brown. Some are light brown while others are dark brown. It may take an entomologist to determine whether a brown spider is indeed a brown recluse. There are many brown spiders that have been misidentified as brown recluses. Unlike many other spiders, a brown recluse doesn't use a web to catch its food. These spiders hunt during the night and feed on insects both alive and dead. They kill insects with their venom. The final trait that makes the brown recluse different from many other spiders is that it has six eyes instead of eight. It has three pairs of eyes in specific places on its head. Most spiders have eight eyes organized in rows.

What is a pet safe alternative to pesticides to get rid of spiders?

The first thing you need to determine is why you want to get rid of the spiders. The ones in the U.S. that can kill people are the black widows and the brown recluse spiders. Black widow bites can only kill children and infirm adults. Since antivenoms have been available, nobody has died from their bites. The brown recluse spiders can produce necrotic bites, and sometimes more serious symptoms, symptoms that can produce death, can result. Black widow spiders do not like to live in human habitations, so if you spot one the easiest solution would be to let it drop into a bottle, cap the bottle, take it outside, and release it at some distance from human habitation. If you kill all spiders in your house, then there is a chance that many brown recluses spiders would get in, and there would be no other spiders around to catch and eat them. If you are intent on killing, then the next problem would be what to use to kill them. A flyswatter would do for individual black widow or brown recluse spiders. If you don't like that solution you could try diatomaceous earth. That is not a drug like DDT. It is made up of large numbers of diatoms, or at least the shells of dead diatoms. Contact with them can pierce the bodies of insects and spiders.
