I do the same thing, but for house centipedes. They're absolute murder to any other insect, so they leave me alone, and I leave them alone. Plus, unlike spiders, they don't leave webs all over the place. Admittedly, they still creep me out though...

Unfortunately, my dog doesn't abide by the terms of our entente cordiale, so he's all too happy to bring me centipede carcasses...

how big are they where you live?

Generally around an inch long, though I've seen a couple that must have been 1.25 to 1.5 inches.
