LARGE spider removal advice?

Just outside my front door is a large evergreen bush, and between it, and the the roof and the siding, is a web about the size of a large garbage can lid, and right in the middle is this big ugly spider. I want it GONE, but afraid to do anything since I'm highly allergic to spider bites. This thing is basically black, with some red stripes on the legs and belly, but almost neon yellow spots on the bulbus body part.
Any ideas? I really really HATE spiders.

I got just the thing, use wasp killer spray, it won't kill them but they will fall then you can step on him.

Awwwww ... He sounds CUTE!!!
Just leave him be. He eats lots of pests.
If you HAVE to destroy him, try a wasp spray that works instantly, would be my guess.

This thing was NOT there when I left for work this morning. Meg said she saw it when she got back from getting ehr stitches out at about 1 this afternoon. Boy that creature worked fast. I've taken a few pics with the zoom since I didn't want to try to get too close. Once I'm done feeling sick to my stomach I'll see if any of them turned out.

not harmless if it finds it's way IN my apartment.
You wouldn't believe the size of the sores from the bite of a little jumpy house spider. I'd hate to see the sore if this huge mother bit me. Dylan will get broken out with rock hard puss filled welts all over if he gets bit by a spider.

He'll stop at the threshhold, look around, then back away politely, saying, "No, thank you. I prefer it out here WHERE IT'S 108 IN THE SHADE!"

Or with the storms rolling in like they are, it'll want to stay out there in the wind and the raind and drownd rather than want to come in where it's dry and it's meal won't be water logged.

Just leave it alone or if you really can't stand it out side your appt. get a glass jar wwith lid and carefullycapture it and put it a block away. Spiders are real good for gardens.

I wish I had a garden. It's just a freaking evergreen bush. And I wish the landlord would trim it back some because it's getting in the way of getting to my door. But I also want him to wait till fall, so that the Cardnal nest inside doesn't get disturbed. Hey...wait till Mommy Cardnal gets a load of THIS meal ....

Matt has it right: Raid then step on it. 
I'm not sentimental like my cousin Holly. She scoops up spiders in the house and carries them outdoors.....
I agree with my old friend; if it worries you or makes you think twice about it: Squish. Big spiders: NFG here.

No worries, it's a harmless spider.
http://www.fcps.edu/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/black_and_yellow_a rgiope.htm
Relationship to Humans:
Black and Yellow Garden Spiders are harmless to humans. Because they are large, many people fear them; however, not only are they harmless, but they do a lot of good. These spiders eat large amounts of insect pests, such as flies, mosquitoes, and aphids.
