I spritz them with Windex, that does the trick for me. Outside, they are stationed where they find the most food for their survival, If it is in one of your plants, it may have bugs. One of my hibiscus plants had a spider and web show up on it, I checked under a few leaves and it had some mites on it. A few days later the spider was gone and so were all the little mites on the leaves@
This old house was infested with spiders when I moved in.....I sprayed bug spray down the vacuum pole attachment and sucked them up, sprayed some more to make sure they were dead down the long pole attachment.
Then I got out the caulk gun and sealed every crack and crevice. going along the top of the ceiling, the baseboards, window sills and frames, door thresholds, along fireplace. Luckily it works and I only get a few a year.
You could also get a bug bomb and set it off, and get out of the house.
I catch the larger ones that come in and release outside. The smaller, I'm sorry to say, I suck up in the vacuum. I really love my outside spiders. For every mosquito, roach and pill bug they catch is one less I have to deal with.
Please don't kill them! Speak to them! I promise they understand and will leave on their own. I never, ever kill anything and I just ask them to please leave and they do! I have an agreement with them, I don't kill them and they don't come in! Yeii!
Thought I read/saw in your column "that Borax rids spiders & insects around your house". I did read it but now I can't find where it was. Please reply.

bugstop from lowes spray around baseboards and entrances and beds. will not stain and will kill spiders that cross over.
