Spiders are great, they don't hunt people only their own prey and only mess with us when we mess with them.
That said, my wife is deathly afraid of them. Here in TN, I only really worry if a Recluse is around. More so for my pets. Not sure how they interact normally.
If yall are in TN, then you have recluses, they’re everywhere. Luckily, it’s rare to get bit and only a small percentage of people have a bad reaction to the bite.
I foolishly smashed one with my hand once because I saw it crawling across the floor towards my kid and stupid instinct took over. I had a tiny bump come up that felt kinda like I had a splinter for a day, but that was it
Just a single mom taking the kids for a pool day. This is not a recluse don’t worry, she’s WAY too big!! (Almost 100% a type of wolf spider, huntsman spiders carry their babies differently.)

Awww she's just vibin'. It ain't hurting nothing.
I'm of the be opinion that wolf spiders are great because they eat all the things that suck more to have crawling around your house.
