I’ve been spraying and wiping with a dry cloth

Spider mites make webbing that’s kind of like blankets. House spiders make webbing that’s more upright and look like snowflakes. This is probably a house spider

Thank you ,it’s stressed me out so much . Do the house spiders inflict any damage or is it fine ? Would it be better to err on the side of caution and just wipe down ?

House spiders don’t cause damage so you’re fine to leave him and he’ll probably eat up any fungus gnats that may pop up so free clean up crew
