Look at it this way, they are likely far more scared of you than you of them, they are small and you could easily kill them, just understand that the most common spiders in the home are harmless, the Long leg for example is good, it kills flies and other pesky insects..
You should try and tackle your fear head on, kill spiders until you fear them less, take control, the more you avoid them, the more you will fear them.. I too am afraid of spiders, my case isn't as extreme but i still shake like crazy when i have to kill hunting spiders, damn things have a way about them, most spiders i don't mind, except for Hunting Spiders...
So just think of how scared that poor little spider is when it sees you coming with an implement of destruction, you always have the upper hand, they are helpless....
