Agelenopsis sp.
These aren't dangerous and usually don't survive indoors. Colder weather drives them to come inside. Your bites are not the result of this spider. I suggest checking for other sources. These spiders will not bite you unintentionally. It will only bite when pressed against the skin. Likewise, you will feel the bite.
