Many people find spiders repulsive and scary, yet the majority of spiders are harmless and beneficial.

So let's take a good look at these creatures and address our fears. Consider how much bigger you are than a spider and that spiders probably can't even see you. Although spiders typically have eight eyes, many have poor eyesight.

Spiders pose no real threat to us. In fact, you can appreciate spiders for their significant contribution to insect control.

Preventing Spider Problems

There are many ways to make your home less appealing to spiders. If there are cracks in your foundation or around windows and doors, seal them up.

Check places where water pipes and electrical lines enter your house, and caulk any openings.

Keep woodpiles and debris away from your house.

In storage areas, put boxes up off the floor and away from walls. Seal boxes with tape to keep spiders from living inside them. In general, cleaning up clutter will mean you have fewer spiders.

Pruning vegetation away from your house and keeping the area next to the foundation clear will also make your house less attractive to spiders.

Outdoor lighting sometimes attracts insects, which in turn attracts spiders. You can move outdoor lighting away from windows and doors if this is a problem around your home.

Removing Spiders

You can remove a spider from inside your house by putting a jar over it. Then slip a piece of paper under the jar so that the opening is sealed, pick up the jar, and take the spider outside.

A broom is also a useful tool for moving a spider outside.

Chemicals Are Ineffective

Using a pesticide is not a good solution to spider problems. "Insecticides will not provide long-term control" of spiders, according to the University of California, "and should not generally be used against spiders outdoors." Inside, "control by spraying is only temporary unless accompanied by housekeeping."

Washington State University Extension has a similar perspective: "Most spider problems can be solved without the use of chemicals." - http://www.pesticide.org/spiders.html

Answer 3

It's a Wolf Spider, or maybe a Grass Spider. Either way, they can bite but aren't dangerous to humans.

Here's a pic. of a Wolf Spider:

Answer 4

It doesn't look like a Brown Recluse from its size (cephalothorax & abdomen).. Brown Recluse spiders have a larger abdomen... This fellow has a larger cephalothorax.

It looks more Wolf Spider'ish... The markings on the head looks like a Violin (the cephalothorax)

However they are non-lethal (but they do bite when cornered or provoked)

The venom is Non-Toxic to humans (but may cause irritation based on the individuals reaction to its venom)

They are frequent visitors to warm house! :)

However, they generally seek out dark corners.

Bug spray might keep them at bay during winter.

and 2 be nice heres what each can do

_recluse_

(someone said the only live in the US)

Adult Brown Recluse spiders are yellowish-tan to dark brown. They have long, thin gray to dark brown legs covered with very short, dark hairs. Both male and female spiders are similar in appearance and are equally venomous.  

Young Brown Recluse spiders are smaller and somewhat lighter in color. The most distinguishing mark on a brown recluse spider is the presence of a dark brown or black violin or fiddle on its back with the violin's "neck" pointing toward the rear of its body.

For this reason, they are sometimes called "violin spiders" or "fiddleback spiders

The presence of a violin-like marking on the back of a spider is not conclusive evidence of a brown recluse spider. There are other species of spiders which have markings that resemble violins. The brown recluse spider does not have any markings on its abdomen. If you see a spider that has markings on its tail end, it cannot be a brown recluse spider. The color of the abdomen is tan to brown, but may appear darker if the spider has recently fed.

The spider has 6 eyes in 3 pairs arranged in a semi-circle in front of the violin. This is uncommon since most most spiders have 8 eyes. The average size of a mature Brown Recluse spider is about the size of a quarter.
