Don't go flipping out that you are infested with deadly spiders. I can feel the paranoia in the air already. The best way to keep away spiders is to keep away the things they prey on. Keep the house sprayed, keep the lawn treated and cut, don't turn on outside lights at night (if you need them, use bug-lights), keep shades closed at night, keep the brush down (especially next to the house), and use concrete patios instead of wood decks if possible. If you minimize places bugs can hide, you won't have as many. If you live right next to a woodline though, you're pretty much screwed. I had an upper/lower right on a woodline with an all night security light and orb-weaver spiders covered the house regardless of my efforts.
