These bros in particular do best inside of homes! They tend to stick to basements and such, they wanna eat all the pests and stay out of our way. Their other name is the “Aggressive House Spider” though it’s a little outdated as they aren’t very aggressive at all. They do get BIG though and that freaks a lot of people out.
There’s domesticus and giganticus, but the agrestis isn’t “aggressive”: it means “field”, like from the same word as Agriculture. It’s also invasive outside of East Asia.
So keep the little one, keep the giant one, cull the midsized.
I saved one of these that was stuck in my bathtub just a couple days ago. Put him/her in the basement with the others.
Awwww yay! Thank you for not putting them outside!
Do they not live well outside?

Today I learned! Thanks for the info :)
Aggressive?! These little guys are so timid. Must have been named by some spider-phobe.
It would just come back inside, anyway.
