Actually, I've wondered about this also. According to Wikipedia:
"Certain species of these seemingly benign spiders invade webs of other spiders and eat the host, the eggs or the prey. In some cases the spider vibrates the web of other spiders, mimicking the struggle of trapped prey to lure the host of the web closer. Pholcids are natural predators of the Tegenaria species, and are known to attack and eat Redback spiders and Huntsman spiders. It is this competition that helps keep Tegenaria populations in check, which may be advantageous to humans who live in regions with dense hobo spider populations."

I've seen the one's in my house eat Huntsmen, White Tails and Garden Spiders. They feel the vibration on their web, run over and wrap the other spider in its web, it's legs r 2 long for the other spider to reach. When the other spider is totaly covered, they suck it dry. That is why they r the most venomous, their teeth can't pierce human skin. They also eat flies and moths.
