Just had to post what I learned about the wolf spider when I found one in my home. I realize you're not likely dealing with that but after seeing the pic of one it could be creapy to imagine that in your home.
The nice thing about a wolf spider is that they drag their egg sack with them. If you find a wolf spider with no egg sack you can be sure there are no eggs around. If you find one with an egg sack you can eliminate the whole lot in one stomp. Those suckers are FAST though. They're a hunting spider and roam a lot. They don't usually stay in one place. They're vagrants and even carry their babies on their backs. They don't keep a home. They are mildly poisonous but only to a small child who might roll over on them. Mostly they'll run from humans though so bites from Wolf spiders are rare.
They are quite large and look a little hairy though so seeing one unexpectedly in your home can definately give you nightmares though. They don't like company though so if you find one you can pretty much count that there isn't another one nearby. They're loners. They're usually only found in a home during the spring and fall months when it gets colder outside. They'll usually move on quite quickly too.
