Should I kill crab spiders in my house?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
Crab spiders, like wolf spiders, are beneficial and do eat a lot of pest bugs, but both of these spiders are better off outside. Crab spiders prefer gardens or flowers where they eat aphids and mites.

I would just put them outside:



They have benefits of bug catching and not really any problems. Technically, wolf spiders present a bigger threat, but you seem to know wolf spiders well enough.

No.

Should I kill crab spiders in my house?

I usually leave wolf spiders alone because I figure they are eating other bugs and leaving me alone. But what about crab spiders? Do they have any benefit in the house? Do they present any problems in the house?

Note: I also have a dog.
