WHY Though????

I think I'm used to seeing more spiders around in fall, and I always chalked it up to "well, the temperatures are changing to be cooler and so they want to come inside" or something but I have NO idea why I'm seeing so many spiders around my place in the last few weeks.  Is it now too hot and so they're coming inside?  Are they always inside and just seeking different places?  WHY?  WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE!?

I had the smaller large ones in my bathroom that I mentioned and then there was a bigger one in my bathroom that I was just letting be.  

But THEN, one day I went to grab my gym bag out of the closet for some exercise I already didn't want to do and there was a GIANT BIG ONE IN THERE!  GAH!

It was too high up on the ceiling for me to capture so I got a thing to knock it down and of course that backfired and it fell directly onto the floor but it's dark in closets so I couldn't see where it fell and it looked like it might have fallen into my gym bag AHHHH!  So I had to dump out the entire contents and shake everything that was in there and even then I wasn't sure I got it, but I dressed, and went to the gym and hoped I could forget about it once I got home.  Oh, and I also left the door open so it could get the hint and leave.

When I got home, it was gone and I figured it had skedaddled elsewhere, but that night when I went to close the closet door IT WAS BACK!  NOOOOOoooooOOOOoO!

I don't quite remember how I got it this time, I think I went on tippy toes and tapped it into a glass that then got dumped in the hallway.

And I feel like this is the third or fourth long legged spider I've done that with in the last couple of weeks!

Plus the one that made me nearly chuck my laptop across the room. 

And then not that long ago I was going pee and there was a little scuttly guy on the floor!

So, again, glass, dump in hallway, put now contaminated glass in dishwasher.  Sigh.

Why so many spiders right now?  Why?  (Internet suggests there are likely reasons but I just want to not see them so much!)
