    I have a gadget that is like a small battery operated hoover with a tube attached, you don't have to get too close to them, you can just turn it on and suck em up so you can take em outside and get em away from your home. I know how you feel and it works for me. Google spider catchers.

    I too live alone, it's one of the best gadgets I've ever bought, couldn't live without it! Prior to getting it my neighbours would come rushing round thinking I was being murdered as I used to scream so loud if I saw a big one! LOL! I hope it works for you.
