Spiders in the house

So over the last few weeks, our bedroom has become some sort of Mecca for huge house spiders. Always in the same place, a few inches from my head, a nasty piece of thing sits on the wall. I notice them because they actually make a scraping noise walking around on the wall. This has happened 4 times now - God knows how many more there are that I haven't seen.
Now this is freaking us out. The bitch refuses to sleep in there (she was THIS close to check into a hotel at 3 AM this morning), and to be completely honest, they're kinda making me uncomfortable too.
I can deal with a lot of insects, but spiders, eeek! I bet they're crawling on me as I sleep. I'm already a hardcore insomniac, and knowing that there are spiders the size of male hands watching over me is not exactly helping. I feel like they're on me just thinking about it.
What the hell can I do? Went looking this morning for some kind of treatment, but I couldn't find anything. Plenty for ants, rats and stuff like that but nothing for spiders.

sticky spider traps and in case you get a poisonous spider, that serum worked wonders for me

cockroach spray does the trick, but depends on how dig they are. I once used half a can on a huntsman and the fucker still lived. ended up vacuuming him

Spiders are apparently your totem spirit animal and they are watching over you bc some deep spiritual or real world change is about to happen..they're protecting you man...*
* OK, I don't believe that, but it might work for you psychologically...

Thanks though, just ordered a few of those traps.

I want something that would create an inhospitable environment, like some kind of poison or traps.
Once I see them, I slam them with a magazine or something, but I kinda get the feeling that the smell of dead spiders attract more of those little fuckers.

Remember that old Looney Tunes episode when Porky Pig is staying in the hotel and has the mouse and he calls the front desk and Daffy Duck sends up the cat, and then he has to send up a dog to get rid of the cat, and then has to send up a tiger to get rid of the dog, and then an elephant to get rid of the tiger, and then a mouse to get rid of the elephant?
I'm picturing you're about to enter that kind of scenario and it made me chuckle.

Yeah yeah, laugh all you want, my manliness is at a negative at casa del jox anyway. I have nothing more to lose ;)
I can deal with snakes, aggressive bulldogs, hell even tigers and lions, but those little f-ing spiders, that's really freaking me out.

On that note, that reminds me. I have to hammer up some drywall and drink beer tonight, to offset the negative manly vibe a little bit.

buy some blue/red fabric (preferable latex) and build a suit and mask. Now wait for one of them to bite you and start practicing your jumps...

Hey Indiana Jones hated snakes and we, well we hate the crawly eight legged beasties. That's why for me no movie could be more spine tinglingly scary that Arachnophobia. That movie gave me the tweaked out nightmares. Horror movies just make me laugh - "Hey look that chainsaw!! That head just got lopped off!! Hahaha!!!" But put a fucking spider in a drain and I'm crying for my mom...

Fucking. Spiders. One night my wife woke up freaking out because, she claimed, she saw a "giant spider" on her bed side table. I didn't *really* believe here because our place didn't have a spider problem, let alone giant spiders, but I still had to man up and look for it. One, to appease here, and two, to appease myself. About 10 or 15 minutes later she's asleep. Me? I awake for most of the night curled up at the opposite corner of the bed.
