Exactly. Brown recluses skittish and will make a lot of effort to avoid you. Humans usually encounter them in dark, quiet, areas such as a basement, garage, storage area, or tool shed. If you have an area like that--especially one that is cluttered up with boxes and similar items, then that is a good place to find a recluse. However, avoiding them is also easy. Make a lot of noise. If you have to pick up a box or search for something, bang on the items around you to scare off any spiders that may be there. It's easy to get bit if you reach into a dark area to pick up an object with said spider on it--but really, they don't want anything to do with you, so if you can make it obvious that you're there, the spiders will run away.
You can keep the spiders away by keeping the area busy, well lit, and free of clutter. Getting rid of the spider's prey (insects) is good as well.
