I read a few years ago that putting conkers around the house will deter spiders, and as I hate the buggers I tried it, and it worked! (there is probably some scientific explanation, but who cares - hardly any spiders!) you could also try getting a cat, I have 4 and they all enjoy munching spiders, after a bit of torture at first! x

Take a plastic drinks bottle (keep the cap) and cut the bottom off it. Take a plastic food tray carton, and cut one end off. Then, when you see an arachnidus scarius, place the bottle over it, slide the tray underneath, turn the whole thing over. The spider drops into the bottle, and cannot get out. Then let it go in the garden or wherever.
Keep the outside of the house free of rubbish, old carpets, leaves, and anything else they can hide in.
And, be brave.

Caulk around the outside of windows, make sure screens fit correctly, check for gaps in doors, etc. You can spray around the exterior perimiter of your home to hold the spiders at bay for a while. I have the Terminix man come to spray my home, inside & outside on a regular basis. Any trees or bushes really close to your home will be home to spiders also.
