Can you please ID this spider? I was just about to spray “Home Defense” to keep the bugs out of the house, but I don’t want to kill the things that do that naturally. Any information you could share with me is appreciated. Thank you

This is a cat-faced spider. See http://webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/bspm/Arachnida%20(Arachnids)/Cat-Faced%20Spider2.pdf for details. See http://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/insects/spiders-in-the-home-5-512/ for details on other common Colorado spiders and their management.
