'hit and run, hit and run' is the easiest way to kill a spider. when i was starting a survival world, and was late on finding wood, i found that when you make a smallish house, with just one block to move around,no roof, spiders could not get in. great way to hide if a spider is racing at you, make one out of dirt.
