On the flip side, spiders are our friends.
They will eat any other bugs, as well as each other.
Growing up, the theory was that if you had spiders in your house, it was good luck. Typical "house" spiders are harmless, and spend most of their life being unseen by humans. If you have house plants, then you would more than likly have spiders, because any bugs that might infest the plants are food for spiders.
As far as Black Widows, and possibly Brown Recluse spiders are concerned, they are poisonous and need to be dealt with.
(Keep in mind that they aren't there to attack you, but more likely they were brought in with something else, like firewood, or something that had been left outside for an extended period.)
If you want to get rid of some REAL pests, there are always the squirrels, pigeons, canadian geese, comorants, and soon the ticks and mosquitos.
