You can't kill these with pesticides. Fire. The answer is "handle it with fire." I apologize if me killing a deadly spider in my daughter's living space offends you. Would you feed differently if it was a mosquito carrying malaria? Check your house and keep your loved ones safe.
Think it through. Burning a very small spider with an exoskeleton increases the pressure inside, and makes it explode... killing it instantly. It's the quickest way to dispatch it that I could think of. I had the same thoughts.... which is why I burned it with fire.

Close-up 1080p high-definition footage of a brown recluse spider (Loxosceles Reclusa) crawling on blue jeans, khaki pants and shoes, and running on a flat surface. Footage shows how the brown recluse can hide in clothing and in shoes, presenting a bite hazard. No audio. Filmed in St. Louis metro.
Most brown recluse bites occur from people putting on clothes and shoes that the spider has crawled into. The brown recluse is identified by its brown color, six eyes (three pairs) and the distinctive fiddle/violin marking. Most homes in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc) have brown recluse populations. (This video is viewable in full hd resolution by selecting the 1080p option.)
