In my neck of the woods spiders need to be identified before I can let them stay. Just last year I found multiple widow spiders and a brown recluse in my apartment building, goodness I’m glad to be out of there.
I let widows be, if they’re not somewhere that humans will be putting their hands, or that kids can reach. Recluses tho, I’m afraid a recluse sighting calls for the real insecticide.
But I’ve cut way back on treating anything else just to make sure the orb web weavers can live here, it was like Silent Spring the year I applied according to manufacturer instructions

!spiders@lemmy.world will gladly take your ID requests. (I’m a mod there, this is self-promo).
Thanks!! 🕷️🕷️
