I like the little buggers. They are efficient pesticide-free pest control. That's very important, considering I HATE insects--if I find something in the house and the number of legs can be evenly divided by three, the fucker dies.
My mother rescued a couple black widows from her science lab where some of her kids were going to squash them. She put them in some sealed petri dishes, brought them home, and released them in the back of our property in the bushes by the lake. They probably got eaten by birds, but hey, they gotta take their chances too.
Spiders are protective, and they can also be guides. Both functions are valuable and should be cultivated.
