How to get rid of my fear of spiders? Or anything with too many legs? Or is there a way to just keep them out my house?

I just moved to Atlanta and I have never seen such spiders before in my life everywhere I go I see spiders BIG ones and it’s driving me crazy even typing right now about them is making me itch. I’m scared to do certain things anymore because I’m scared a big one will jump out on me. I know I can’t get rid of them completely but is there anyway I can reduce them? I heard spider repellent doesn’t work. Also is there anyway I can keep them out of my breezeway? I live in a apartment complex and outside the door there s spiders everywhere and my neighbors don’t care :( Can I put something outside my door that’ll be strong enough to prevent them from staying there? I have no bugs in my apartment or cracks so I’m not sure how there getting in maybe it’s the vent? I need serious help.

    The only way to get rid of spiders is to get the area good and clean and get rid of what the spiders eat. A good pesticide like fipronil will help. But here's something to remember. A big spider cannot hurt you. there's only two spiders you've got to worry about and that's the Black widow and the brown recluse and both of them are small. The big ones that scare the hell out of you are perfectly harmless they couldn't harm you if they wanted to. You're more likely to harm yourself trying to get away from one of them.
