Have you tried hedge apples? They are green balls that come from an "osage orange" tree. I had 2 or three in my downstairs for about 8 months...no spiders. You just need to have them sitting in the space - don't need to do anything to make them work, and they're organic! I'll try to attach a photo.
The following measures can be used to control all spiders:
You can make a mixture of water and white vinegar. Spray all cracks, corners, and crevices. They do not like vinegar. I would do this daily and then cut down to weekly.
It appears that the tree/shrub can be found in the US and southern Canada. They are cultivated trees...so you might be able to buy one.
Cool! I was surprised how well it worked. Kept them out of my dusty garage for almost a year.
