You are describing wolf spiders. They will only hang out where they have food. Their food is insects which are much less desirable than wolf spiders. IOW, they are your friends in your battle against cockroaches and silverfish.

Masking sticky side up on the floor along the wall will take care of a lot of the ground crawling ones.

Go to WalMart and buy a pump up sprayer.
Go a spider killing product like Demon or something similar. Mix it twice as strong as the directions call for. Cover EVERY square foot of the floor of your house. No more bugs for at least 6 months. |

There is a pear tree outside, there are plenty of insects attracted to it. Around the tree, there are webs with big, fat, orange-brown speckled spiders. These don't bother me, because I can keep an eye on them... They are slow moving and stay outside. I haven't really seen any insects inside the house, though. |

Relax, take a few deep breaths.
As noted above, a few spiders aren't all that bad and can actually be your friends, in terms of how they will keep other pests under control. An excess of spiders just needs to be controlled. Just means nature got a little out of balance. Clean out that crawlspace. One of the most effective means of controlling spiders is "habitat denial." Spiders don't like bright, open, airy, clean spaces. They prefer clutter and junk to hide in. Denying them habitat is half your battle. Sprays are not very effective against spiders, unless you spray them directly. Glue traps in the corners and along the floor near the walls will help get things under control. Keep pets and small children away. Have fun. |

Cover EVERY square foot of the floor of your house. No more bugs for at least 6 months. I really do not recommend doing this. Spiders have "book lungs" and are not terribly susceptible to indirect spraying. However, indiscriminate spraying of poison IS good for one thing. It is good for increasing your own chances of developing cancer. |

I dunno if Osage Orange trees are native to WA or not, but if they are go get some hedgeapples from the trees and put them all over your house. Just sort of place them everywhere you've seen spiders.
I thought someone was yanking my chain on this one, but we tried it in my mom's house (a spider mecca) and within a couple weeks no spiders or bugs at all....gone. Works great. |

I too have an irrational fear of spiders. My first house was similar to yours. I bought it intending to fix it up. It was old and porous, and there were spiders everywhere. One night on a hard freeze, my pipes froze and burst in the crawl space. I was poor, had no money to pay a plumber and had to fix them. A friend came to help me, but I couldn't make him crawl in that den of satan's spawn if I wasn't willing to do it, so armed with a trouble light and a 60 watt bulb, I descended into hell. Upon reaching my destination, I went to work, cutting out the burst PVC, and gluing in couplers and new lengths of pipe. I'd all but forgotten the thousands of multi legged spleen suckers crawling around inches from my face. I finished the job, and began the process of turning around to come out.
That's when I bumped the light on a floor joist and the bulb burned out. I fucking lost it. I swear I nearly made a new crawl space entry by bursting through the floor. My buddy ran for another bulb as I had my little melt down. The moral of this story is, burn your house down and collect the insurance. |

You're gonna hate this OP but it's true. I FREAKIN LOVE SPIDERS. All kinds of them. And it freaks out everybody I know. I love them because you will not have any other creepy crawlers in your house when you've got a healthy population of spiders. Healthy meaning a proper balance. And everybody knows my house rules...inlcuding the spiders.
Spiders are for predation and nothing else. If they get into lets say my gf's space....well, they gotta go...outside. That's my rule. She'll yell at me cause she's freaked out that she found a rouge in the bathtub. So I'll go pick up the criminal (in my hand omfg!) and set him loose outside. Easy peezy. In other words, you won't know there are protected spiders in my house but they are there and I love to watch them operate. |
