CLOSED: Please help me identify this spider...??!

Los Angeles, CA

Hi everyone!
I'd really appreciate some help with this..!

For the last month or so, there is suddenly an abundance of spiders popping up in my apartment... I have a very small child and just want to see if these spiders are cause for concern.. I've seen maybe 7 the last few weeks but I've heard that means there are way more than that... I've caught a couple now, and they all appear to look exactly the same and being roughly the same size.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
By the way my area is Southern California, 90046 area.

Thank you so much!

Gratefully,
Trish

These most likely are ground spiders in the family Gnaphosidae - see http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/spiders/aa_5058%20copy.jpg for an example. They are not dangerous to humans.
