I was doing repairs in my Missouri home about a decade ago and saw a stack of small boards in the corner of my basement.

I had a friend in Missouri who was bitten by one of these villains and he had necrosis create a huge hole in his arm that took months to heal. They're vile spiders and I eliminate them on sight no matter what good they do our ecosystem. It's me or the spiders and I'm still breathing, so...
