I’m so happy that I’m not the only one who leaves spiders (mostly) alone in the house. I had a neighbor once who was like, “Uhh… there’s a big 'ol spider in your bathroom.” One of my children then goes, “That’s Henrietta. She lives behind the toilet and eats bugs.” The neighbor looked at us like we were crazy. Henrietta’s offspring have been living quietly in my downstairs bathroom eating ants for about 20 years now.

We have geckos local here.
If we didn’t have cats, I’d put a few in the house.
Problem with cats is, you either find the head, or the rest of the body. Never both halves of the gecko.
I also leave spiders as long as they stay in the corners. If they invade my personal space, they forfeit their lives.
