    Here is a picture if it uploaded of the one we found today.
    They are all big spiders not your little "house" spiders I am use to seeing.
    What should we do?

    I would bomb the house... but make sure you read directions and follow.

    WOW.

    Don't "bomb" the house. That is overkill. Most spiders are an occasional pest and not really something that deserves that kind of treatment. There are two dangerous groups of spider - the widows and the recluses. The spider you have is neither. Most spiders can't or won't bite and those that can, usually only leave a small welt or large bump. Those who are allergic may need to be more careful.

    With most spiders, slap 'em dead with a rolled up newspaper. Deposit them in the trash. Seal your window screens, and put bumpers on the door bottoms. A vacuum cleaner is your best weapon against spiders.

    Here is an authoritative site on spiders Spider Management Guidelines--UC IPM
