Reminds me of when I was in college. A friend of mine had a problem not with spiders, but with the other cool arachnids, scorpions. While there was construction going on in the neeighborhood, all the scorpions would get displaced from the woods they were clearing and kept invading homes in the area. We'd find 2-3 a week for months. They were the harmless little 1" long ones, but still, they looked awfully menacing to me.
