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.

Then you can keep them at your house.

I know from experience. You just cannot tell people who are afraid of spiders that they are necessary creatures. They don’t hear a word you say. Spider consumes their mind until they are convinced the spider is gone and not just gone away, but completely annihilated.

Arachnophobia is a bad phobias. Like the fear of snakes, it makes people run into trees. But some of the sufferers still love watching those ridiculous Syfy original spider movies.

To be on the safe side, I view all spiders as Black Widow spiders, and all snakes as rattlesnakes.
