We do have some bad spiders migrating in thanks to a warming climate. I was bitten in four places on my face by one, maybe more, of those kind about twenty years ago and still suffer some damage to my right eye's sight, flesh discoloration and nerve damage over a quarter of my face. And when I get bites, still, from anything these bite affected areas seem to become activated. I feel no remorse at killing spiders in my house.
So I have a similar deal with spiders, outside, you have a purpose in nature, if you enter my home, chances are I'm going to kill you when I see you. My peripheral vision is wide and I can see them almost behind me at times and I know every spec on my walls and ceilings. On hikes, I watch for them and avoid webs when I see them.
