The spiders don't move into your house to mate; they're already there, it's just that you are much more likely to see them during the mating season because - the males anyway - move about more.
I'm not sure I agree that they will just move back indoors if they are taken outside; they will pretty much stay in any suitable environment. If you have one of the species that is only found indoors in your particular area of the country, then it is unlikely to survive outdoors.
Spiders are fairly sedentary animals, and tend to stay pretty much where they are, except for ballooning when they are juvenile. I don't know how far hunting spiders will travel, but I wouldn't have thought it was any great distance.
Why do you need professional help with the spiders you find in bananas?

Hard evidence please mate.

And to finish that off, will just go back where it came from if thrown out the window or not exported at least down into the garden or outside the house.

I was under the impression they would travel as far as they needed to for a meal, if they were not of a breed that spun a web, such as the brazillian wandering spider, they move around often.
