Itsy Bitsy Spider?

My house has a variety of spiders, most of which I exterminate as soon as I see them. I don' t mind leaving a few VERY small ones in inconspicuous corners to catch flies. However, the big ones have to go. During the winter we usually see some REALLY big spiders. I think they are called Giant House Spiders. They are exactly what the name implies, giant. I refuse to touch them, even though they are not poisonous, so I use a wide mouth jar to catch them. Their leg span is as big around as the wide mouth jar! YUK! They give me the heebie-jeebies. Anyway, two showed up in the last two days and totally freaked me out. They are good though. Todd looked them up last night and they eat Hobo spiders. So I guess I will have to release them to the wild.
