I just saw this guy in my yard as well. Another wolf spider? I think I need to get some spider killing spray if so

Looks like Sergiolus montanus.
This isn’t a Wolf Spider (Lycosidae), I agree with Disco’s ID – this is a Ground Spider (Gnaphosidae). Neither should be considered pests outside. Even major pesticide companies will admit that.
