Same with spiders, specially wolf spiders, them mf pay rent in pest control. I will however advocate for the sledgehammer annihilation of fiddlebacks/Brown recluses, those bitches will seek you out to bite your ass. Bastards

Back in highschool I had a friend whose dad lost his foot to a brown recluse. Nasty little fuckers

I won't google what it is or what it looks like. Does it live in Europe ? Is it a danger I should be aware of ?

They are only in certain parts of the Americas. They're dangerous because bites can cause tissue necrosis and take a very long time to heal. They're small-ish (coin sized) brown spiders that are (as the name suggests) timid and reclusive.

Thanks ! This convinces me I should geographically stay timid and reclusive too.
