do any of you have suggestions of luring them away or otherwise?
I know that the little 8-legged freaks like heat, dark spaces and cracks between things like walls and stuff! (I hate them all except Spider-man

)
It depends what spiders you got.
What I fear is the White-tailed spider! A new kind, cuz it breeds and eats other spiders. That spider I hate, its kicked me outta my room 8 times! :x They like my room cuz its warm, and they like to live in clothing, sheets :evil: I've had 2 on me but not bitten yet (I freaked and flattened it where it landed. An hour after that I was still shaking and crying.)
If you have any cob-webs in your house remove them, other spiders hunt those spiders that live in the webs.
DO NOT leave clothes lying around, they'll crawl inside and when u pick it up OWCH!
Keeping the house cool will make em leave -they like the heat, thats why they're inside.
Thats really all I know -I did lots of reading last year when one spider landed on my shoulder. (freakin White-tail!)
Snakes are ok, just avoid long grass and places you know scream snakes and creepy-crawlies like sheds.
Sharks, bears, wild-cats haven't kicked me out of my room so I don't hate them.
