I am an organic gardener. I hate to kill the poor spiders but they give me the creeps. When I am watching T.V. at night, lo and behold, crane spiders or daddy long legs.I hate the thought of them flying around me,

You Can't. I read somewhere recently that there are 2 million spiders for every square mile of land in the UK.

Daddy Long Legs has only 7 legs and is the only spider that will bite and kill a black widow spider! The Long-Legged Cellar Spider has 8 legs, this is the one that most of us have in our houses, also kills other spiders, and catches flying insects like mosquitos in their webs. I like having a couple of these in my house; they don't bother me.
Don't know a thing about garden spiders; they are very ugly and creep me out. I leave them alone.

Okay since spiders eat other bugs the Daddy Long Legs (which by the way are totally harmless to people) are attracted to your garden at this time because of the bugs that are destroying your plants you should be glad the beneficial spiders are there rescuing your plants. the spiders will go after they eat all the bad bugs

Spiders in the garden are Ok ,they eat plenty of pests.
In the house , get a glass and put it upside down over them then slide a piece of card under and turn it all the right way up and release into the garden

Spiders don't like aroma of chestnuts so put a few of them around the house, They'll be falling from the trees soon!

get one of those spider catchers, it's like a little box on a handle witha sliding lid and it is transparent. Put it over the insect or spider, slide the lid closed take it outside and let it go.

They are not dangerous and actually are quite beneficial in that it captures and eats many types of insects that are considered pests and poisonous spiders, including black widow and brown recluse spiders.

oh get a life. If they are harmful (like some spiders), kill the stupid critters, if they're not leave them alone. Crane flies or daddy long legs whatever you call them are harmless, they're just annoying.
They're not "poor spiders" they're just stupid bugs, you squash them and that's that. Pretty soon we're going to have organizations protesting in front of farms holding signs about "rights of vegetables"

For the spiders in your house, try soap and water in a spray bottle, for some reason they disappear. I reckon you can try it in your garden also, that's up to you. (Dish soap or cut up bar soap)
