I’m similar, spiders and the centipedes with the creepishly long antennas…. You’re good as long as you stay over there.

Though I have to admit, the spiders that set up shop on the patio are incredibly considerate- they probably don’t want to keep rebuilding their webs when we take them down, but they’ve learned where it’s a “nope” and build them out of the way.

Cross orb weavers are cool.

But…

(which is good, what with that name; they'd be failures if I'd seen them),

For the record brown recluses are typically seriously venomous. Like. They’re on par with black widows. Here, they’re rare enough, but them and the northern black widows are the only two that are potentially deadly.

In my house spiders are terminated on sight. No exceptions. I could not give AF about the bugs they keep out, I'd rather have 20 flies that I'd have to kill myself than (knowingly) let a single spider live here.

For me it's strictly based on "does this thing make me want to scream like an old horror movie victim"
smol spiders i don't give a shit about unless it looks like a tick in which case NOPE. For larger spiders it depends entirely on what kind it is, stuff like orb weavers get a polite relocation to my balcony where they can hopefully set up shop to catch yucky flies and we can proceed to merrily ignore each other, jumping spiders get an actively friendly relocation to the balcony mostly so i don't accidentally squish them, and basically anything else gets the boot and tissue.

Orb weavers really are the platonic ideal spider, you can literally just put two sticks on a plate and they'll make a web there, then as long as you feed them they just keep sitting there indefinitely.
