What happens if my cat eats or is bitten by a white tail spider?

Question

How harmful are white tail spiders to my cat? My cat loves to hunt bugs/spiders and I can't always be around to make sure of what he is eating or playing with. He is an indoor cat only and I have noticed a few white tail spiders around my house lately and no matter what I do they seem to come back. What would happen if he was to ingest or be bitten by one?
