To not be too bothered by False Widow Spiders

I have a couple of false widow spiders that I think are living in the trickle vents of my kitchen and bathroom windows. I rarely see them, but when I do, I’m not concerned. I wipe away the cobwebs and get on with my day. If I find one that is getting a bit big or is on the floor, I will catch it and put it outside, no drama.
There are not enough of them that I would call it an infestation, but after seeing reports of a school that is closing to deal with an infestation of false widow spiders. I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable?

I can’t enable voting but:

YABU: Burn the house down! (Or more sensibly, actively get rid of them)

YANBU: Live and let live, no biggie, carry on as you were

I have the same, they are hiding in the corners of my conservatory roof. Probably about 5 of them that I've seen. Just been leaving them to do their thing

We have them here too. I must admit after being bitten by one a few years ago I don't particularly like them, but I usually chuck them outside. I only see them in autumn so not too worries.
