Well, perhaps the story could use a happier ending but the five minute timer went off.
These spiders move really slowly and stay up high out of the way. They haven't caused any problems and don't make much of a web but I have moved some of them out of the house and into the garden. I usually leave them alone in the bathroom and garage where they seem to prefer living but when they encroach too much on other areas, I relocate them.
We are lucky to have spiders. They keep insect populations in check:)
