I saw a couple recluse spiders in my apartment several months ago and maybe I’m an idiot, but I left them alone. They were truly more scared of me than I was of them. They don’t want to bother me and only will if I threaten them. So I left them alone and they just chilled in their “recluse” hiding spots.

I have a door spider. It lives in a crack in my entry door. I'm not sure of it is the same spider as last year, but it makes trap web near my door frame. I think of it as bug protection, it's eating something I don't want in my house.

Uhhhh....I would not fuck around with recluses. One bite will melt a golf ball size hole in your flesh. If you really want, you can catch and release but you for sure don't want them in your house. If they breed, you're looking at a serious problem.

Widows are more common in my area and I do the same.
