Depends on what and where they are. Usually I give the slight talk to when it's a jumper or those tiny house spiders that only grow to be about 2-3 mm in diameter max. I tend to let them be because they don't really do anything harmful.

Brown recluses have to go, and I know I've gotten a few that might not have been and just a poorly colored/placed wolf spider.

When I was younger there was a massive outbreak of golden orb weavers. You could literally stand and look in a direction to see 10-15 females with 2-4 foot webs. I being the only brave one to go near em commited genocide and killed easily 100 or more. They're still around, but not as many or intrusive. I try to atone for it and I didn't do it because I hate spiders... it's more like we can't be having giant strong webs on everyone's front and back door and 10-20 in each yard. It'd also be just as wrong to relocate them to someone's yard down the street, because that's how some species get spread... like crazy ants *shudders*
