Crikey, every residential home in Australia has one of these. The golden orb weaver which is a close relative of Joro I believe. As an Australian citizen it is my duty to remind the rest of the world that we have the most deadliest snakes and spiders in the world, which makes us tough I guess...

Anyway we don't "burn them with fire" or "have heart attacks", we just leave them alone. This strategy has worked out well with humans and spiders co-existing in relative peace.
