I find that with spiders (and snakes) the best strategy is to leave them alone and they will leave you alone. We get some very large spiders here but they are harmless. If spiders are in a place like the kitchen I either use the glass and sheet of paper technique and put them outdoors or "encourage" them to go outside with a broom. They actually get rid of a lot of mosquitoes and flies (far worse pests). I only ever kill poisonous spiders in the house (red-backs and white-tailed spiders).
Snakes are beautiful creatures and an important part of the ecosystem. Like most wild animals they usually only attack if threatened. But f you see one in your house call in a professional snake catcher, unless you actually can tell the difference between a highly poisonous brown snake and a harmless python!
