The spiders have their corners in my house. Doesn’t bother me. They eat the pesky flying insects that like to fly in my face.
Hum… I tried to maintain that philosophy until they attracted a wanderer that I was unable to get rid of for 2 days until it ate all the spiders. Also, one of them attacked me, what wasn’t a big issue, but I prefer not to happen again.
Now I kill them all.
Same here, although they’re not catching much of the current infestation of Maple/Boxelder bugs.
I like their look and dopey panicked movements when they notice you watching them, but the cute looks get old when there’s 20 sunbathing on the wrong side of the kitchen window.
The only spiders I’ve seen want to eat those are cellar spiders, and even that seems reluctant on their part lol. Guess they really taste horrible or something.
Wiki does say tastes bad for birds. Maybe some irritant? I know spiders don’t have taste buds, but chemical sensing leg hairs near the mouth instead doing the closest spider equivalent.

’Eww eww eww get it off!’
This take could swing from normal all the way to unhinged depending on the number and size the spiders

They can’t look extraordinarily deadly though if they don’t wanna be taken outside - any daddylonglegs lookers are 100% safe to corner chill
I am fine with a few spiders around, but the detente does not extend to eggsacs.

I have off-limits places: where I sleep and in the shower. If I can’t reach them and they’re there… unfortunately they get the hand vac. Otherwise, it’s time to bring out and index card and Dedicated Spider Cup. It’s outside if it’s not winter, and basement if it’s winter.

I got some plants over wintering in the garage, and the spider bros have been keeping down the tiny flies that came in the trees. ❤️🕷️
