It's "arachnophobia" until a black widow bites you and melts a hole through your leg. Then it's a healthy fear of things that can dissolve your body bits into spider goo.
I'm from parts of Texas where the wildlife is persistently trying to kill you.

Psssh, you guys worrying about spiders in your houses. I leave one door open, a vervet monkey is in my kitchen stealing my food and making hissing noises at me.

I don't know what a vervet monkey is but if it doesn't crawl into your shoe while you sleep so it can bite your feet and melt your toenails into a spider soup, I am unconvinced it would bother me like a Brown Recluse does.
Edit: I'll take dangerous animals I can see over ones I can't any day of the week. It's why rattlesnakes aren't that scary, they're loud. You can't just step on one unless you're stupid. I'll take your hissing monkeys, you can have our spider demons.
When I was a camp councilor long ago in the hill country, one of my first pieces of advice to every new cabin was to constantly shake out your clothing and shoes before putting them on. Always.
We had a lot of red eyed devils, which aren't really dangerous, they're just alarming.

My mother was stung by a black scorpion in her sleep in our house. It was the size of a mouse.
The general rule is the smaller it is, the more dangerous it is. The small white scorpions are a lot more dangerous than the giant black land lobsters.

Don't we just call those citizens?
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

I've developed quite the little ecosystem in my home! Mind you, if I see anything -other- than a daddy longleg come across my path, I'll throw it outside, but I have gone so far as to flick ants into their webs and feed them other wounded insects. They stay out of my way and hold up in the bathroom or along corners, so I've grown to appreciate them quite a bit.
Spiders aren't looking to eat you or terrorize you. They're just there to do their spider things. You can safely ignore them, and they (probably) won't pose much of a threat to you.
Just be glad you don't have a snake problem. THOSE bastards'll kill ya!
I've got this great piece of real estate to sell you.
This was only an hour away from where I live. It was super cool!

You just get used to the spiders! Part of living in a place that has so much greenery around it.

@Sylandra brown recluse (fiddleback) spiders are not native to Florida.
Edit: At least not most of Florida.
OhthankGod. A friend was telling me one of her coworkers went to the hospital with a brown recluse bite and almost died, but she didn't specify where her coworker lived, though she implied it was here.
I will let this rave sit in General Dissatisfaction. Thank you for being kind enough to Google on my cowardly behalf.

People don't actually die to Brown Recluse bites, it's exceedingly rare. The actual serious cases are when people are allergic.
They just leave gaping, oozing, infected holes in your skin. ALL THE NOPES.

@Celina and @Talan are my favorite people right now.
