Here's something I do that's ridiculous. I leave the spiders in my corners alone. The deal is: they stay in their corners and catch bugs, and I don't kill them or relocate them.
It works pretty well. I get free pest control, and they get a home. Very rarely do these guys leave their webs and wander around.
When I dust, I just avoid their little webs. Crazy?

Am not sure that that is either 'Crazy' or 'Frugal' Jilly.
It happens here too. Some spiders are carefully placed outside, others are allowed to remain inside 'forever' and deal with 'intruders'.
Actually killing spiders is something I personally have never heard of.........although it doubtless happens.
In fact there are many superstitions telling people never to kill a spider found in a house, and that in fact they bring good luck and good fortune
We even have several Christmas spider legends here, so doing anything rather than clearing up around them and making sure they are not in full view of visitors who might be freaked out.............not going to happen.

I leave spiders alone if possible because I know if they are in a place, there must be food for them, and I would rather let the spiders take care of the pests. I have heard that breweries do not kill spiders as they are seen as natural pest control.

Right, guys, they have their jobs to do, and they use totally toxin-free, organic methods that are FREE to me.
Sometimes it weirds me out when I notice them over my bed or the toilet, but I remind myself that spiders, as a rule, mind their own business if I mind mine.

We are definitely spider-friendly here. We let the spiders catch the gnats and enjoy life.
