They're actually beneficial, & get rid of worse bugs around your house. I do kill some spiders in house if they're going to get away, but when I can, I get
an empty jar & piece of thin cardboard, put the jar over the spider & slide it onto the cardboard (for a lid), then toss the spider outside into my garden.
Around here, there's TONS of spiders, many kinds. My late mom was phobic about them & would suck them up with the vacuum hose, & then was afraid
to empty the vacuum....hahaha!
Well, the main thing is that you survived, eh?
Lol I was bit by one a month or so ago and went through a couple of weeks with a swollen red foot soo I think it deserved what it got. I don’t hate spiders just saying I also am not friends with them loll
