My advice would be to remove the other spider from your Ts cage.

Nope, i only have spiders living in my gerbil cage. I'm thinking that the Tarantula might not like the spider being in it's cage though.

Depending on the size, the spider might kill the tarantula. If your T is a little sling and the spider is bigger than it then the spider may eat your T. Or the T may eat the spider and will die from the spiders venom. Idk about the last one, but you get the point.

Those damn house spiders get into my Ts cages sometimes. But they are ALWAYS in with my meal worm colony. Just looking for a free meal.

I've found house spiders in my roach tank, and in my boas cage. Harmless

Just to let you know housespiders are very in tune to walking on there own web without making any vibrations so it would be very easy for them to crawl on your T,s without them noticing making it easy to bite the T inbetween the joints (conecting membrane) and killing the tarantula!

Something small has webbed up a spot on the other end of my adult lividum's tank. I think she's safe from the little one though

As long as the house spider is significantly smaller that the tarantula (like1/4 size or smaller) there's probably no harm leaving it in there. They are quite strong and wily though so if their sizes are near to one another the house spider just might win in a tussle. I don't think it would crawl onto the T and bite it out of aggression though. I've seen small house spiders living in large T tanks with no problems.
