The hunt comes first
Finding the spider is half the job. You get tracking technology that points you toward your quarry, but there are hundreds of potential hiding spots in a house, and the spider is not going to come out and introduce itself. So you check under things. You lift a vase and there it is, a big black arachnid sitting comfortably on the bottom, and now you have a decision to make while holding a vase. The spiders do not attack you, but like real ones they will run at you, and they run fast. Corner one in a cluttered room and the tension is real, mostly because you know what you are about to do to that room.
An arsenal of increasingly bad ideas
Spiders, the game reasons, have exactly one weakness: fire. Also bullets. Also explosions, throwing stars, heavy objects dropped from height, and getting smushed with a frying pan or a clipboard. There are dozens of weapons, and the game does not judge your choice, only the structural integrity of the house. The fire simulation is the star: flames spread, and a room you torched for one spider stays burned. You can finish a level having destroyed the entire building to eliminate one small customer. The game calls this being thorough. It is a comedy first, an action game second, and it never takes itself seriously for a second.
