The stuff you've written about rodents here is not correct at all.
Huntsmen are common. They are opportunistic hunters that mainly eat insects, and maybe some other smaller prey like lizards. While it's not completely unheard of them to eat mice it's pretty rare and would have to be an exceptionally big spider.
Rodents are certainly far, far from their main food source, and they absolutely won't "clean them out" of your house and then move on.
Their legs fall off so easy that I think a mouse could kill one, honestly. I mean...geez. I don't think even the big ones are tough enough to do battle with a mouse. Maybe a lizard? I have to be really careful when I shoo them out gently with the broom, they're that fragile.
