Spiders and I have an agreement: don't spin webs at people height. Spiders get the corners, ceilings and anywhere we don't walk. If you try to spin a web on the bananas, RIP.
As long as the size doesn't bug you, you'd probably enjoy huntsman spiders. They prefer eating other insects and even other spiders, and generally leave people alone, even run away from us. They dont spin webs, they eat any bug they can get, including venomous insects. They love eating mosquitoes and cockroachs. If for some reason you feel like attacking one, dont, not only are they helpful, they can jump quite a distance and are faster than you at their peak speed.

I’d be terrified of a huntsmen spider, but I love jumping spiders i leave them be whenever I see them, knowing that they will snack on all the fruit flies, moths, and mosquitoes that make it into my house.
I've walked through so many spider webs over the past few weeks. I do find them very rude. And it's just like, man, if you put your web where I'm going to walk through it then it sucks for you too, then you gotta go rebuild it.
I still don't kill them, though. Just relocate them to somewhere sufficiently far away that hopefully they don't build their next web in the same place.
Except for one spider that I maybe killed. I walked into its web and it stood on my arm and bit me so I flicked it away. No idea where it went or whether it survived. But honestly, what a jerk.

This is why I love jumping spiders.

My area doesn't have huntsmen unfortunately. We do have wolf spiders though which are similar I think. They're lil guys though.
