Not seeing an issue here. If one less spider crawls the earth, it was worth it.

Not seeing an issue here. If one less spider crawls the earth, it was worth it. Come on guy, with the exception of poisonous spiders, which generally only bite you if you bother them, spiders do God's work by killing pests.
3 Ways Spiders Help Indoors
1. Spiders eat pests. Spiders feed on common indoor pests, such as roaches, earwigs, mosquitoes, flies and clothes moths. If left alone, spiders will consume most of the insects in your home, providing effective home pest control.
2. Spiders kill other spiders. When spiders come into contact with one another, a gladiator-like competition frequently unfolds and the winner eats the loser. If your basement hosts common long-legged cellar spiders, this is why the population occasionally shifts from numerous smaller spiders to fewer, larger spiders. That long-legged cellar spider, by the way, is known to kill black widow spiders, making it a powerful ally.
3. Spiders help curtail disease spread. Spiders feast on many household pests that can transmit disease to humans mosquitoes, fleas, flies, cockroaches and a host of other disease-carrying critters.
