Comments & ID Thoughts
I have been dealing with an infestation of this spider for about a year now. I have no idea what it is, I thought it might be a brown recluse, however, I am not for certain that it is. I have found many of them, all throughout my home that is located in northwest Ohio. Can anyone please help me to identify what spider this is exactly so that I may know what to do, and how to handle this exhausting infestation. Thank you very much in advanced for your help and any time that you may have spent on this to help me out! Any suggestions will be graciously received with Much gratitude!

Hi. your spider looks to be a male broad faced sac spider, Trachelas tranquillus species.
They are not dangerous or pose any threat to you, children, or pets.
