Depends on where and what kind of spider. Black widows, and anything that looks remotely like them, get killed on sight. Zero tolerance for spiders with round smooth black bodies. Not even if they might be common grass spiders.
Wolf spiders get killed if they're in open areas that people move through. Wolf spiders are aggressive; they'll bite people who move too close to them.
Cellar spiders get killed if they're on the bed, tables or kitchen counters; if they stay to corners, under shelves and such, they're welcome to stick around. They only get killed (or even moved) if they're in an area that people actively need to be using. If they want to use the area between the lamps and the walls, that's fine with me.
