I have a lot of spiders in my shop too. And like others I don’t bother them unless they are in the way or look dangerous. Just the other night I went out to the shop to make sure I had everything locked up and I ran into the biggest spider I’ve ever seen. It must have had the leg span larger than a baseball and it pitter pattered like a rodent when it ran. It even knock off the better part of a small handful of screws I had sitting on the window sill when it ran through. That sucker was fast and could jump too. I wasn’t quick enough to smash it but I managed to suck it up in my shop vac. Then it was easy to get with a 2×4. I’ve never really been afraid of spiders but that one kind of gave me the jitters.
