Here are some good tips for you, Brenda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ-wRJywFcI
When I moved into my old house it looked like a giant spider web everywhere. I used the vacuum to vacuum up what I could, then I caulked all along the crown moulding at the ceiling and along the baseboards.... and then did all around the windows. It worked, rarely get one.
Brenda: maybe these will help

I used a professional bug spray a few times after we moved in, and since then I spray once a year to keep them out.
I use Ortho Home Defense perimeter spray, inside and out, a couple of times per year. It's non-toxic to people and pets once dry, but it keeps insects from crossing it for months.
Hi Brenda - We use this spray in conjunction with our swiffer and in addition to be a great duster spray, it helps to keep spiders and other buggies at a minimum. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

You’ll likely not be able to keep all spiders out but try sealing up and caulking wherever possible.
