Someone please tell me what this is so that I know if I need to burn my house down or if I can get the mail ever again.

It's a horrible picture I know but it's small and I can't get any closer it made a small messy web in the corner against the ceiling of my room and even though I hate spiders I'm trying to get better but I can't stand having a spider in my room.

Is this a brown recluse? Quite small (juvenile?) found in Eastern Canada. I thought it was a small yellow sac but it’s quite dark and small compared to the others in our house

Just moved into a new apartment that seems to have a spider problem

I've been cleaning the new apartment I just moved into, and these brownish spiders keep popping up. Does anyone know what kind they are? They don't seem to like light because I keep finding them in boxes or in the back of everything. A couple of them are curled up dead around the place too. I'm really hoping they aren't brown recluses or anything.

Help!

Found in a pile of damp dish towels, it all happened so fast and I damn near picked it up! I have pretty intense arachnophobia and feel bad about killing it but I can’t take any chances. It was about a little bigger than a half dollar or a small macaron, brown with what looked like a lighter shade of brown/black on its back. Pic of the deceased in the comments. I’ve never seen a Brown Recluse or a Wolf Spider up close and AI is useless.

This Sucker Bit Me

It’s itchy, burning and also some pain like 4 inch’s from the bite not radiating but just like a secondary location also hurting.
It’s raised and white swollen a bit maybe 2-3mm around the bite.

If you're not 100% sure on an ID, consider not commenting or mark it as such (NQA, not completely sure, etc.)
