Spiders and I have an agreement: don't spin webs at people height. Spiders get the corners, ceilings and anywhere we don't walk. If you try to spin a web on the bananas, RIP.
As long as the size doesn't bug you, you'd probably enjoy huntsman spiders. They prefer eating other insects and even other spiders, and generally leave people alone, even run away from us. They dont spin webs, they eat any bug they can get, including venomous insects. They love eating mosquitoes and cockroachs. If for some reason you feel like attacking one, dont, not only are they helpful, they can jump quite a distance and are faster than you at their peak speed.

My area doesn't have huntsmen unfortunately. We do have wolf spiders though which are similar I think. They're lil guys though.
