Not only did Southam not immediately burn his house down, but he also took a photo of one of the spiders and posted it online for identification. The spiders have been identified to be the Brazilian Wandering spider, one of the deadliest spiders in the world. Southam stated:

"I did some research and looked at photos of them when they're grown. I also found out they're the deadliest spider in the world. I find it interesting if a little scary."

We definitely wouldn't have had such a calm reaction.
