Chemicals or pesticides are not very effective against spiders. Simply spraying for spiders will not do a real good job. Spiders have long leg and poor circulatory systems that decrease the chance of spray on the surface ever reaching them. Perhaps the old way of killing insects using a newspaper, shoe or whatever you choose to use as a weapon would improve your chances over the sprays.
If you do choose to use sprays select a high area of traffic for the spider. Spray along the cracks in baseboards, along edges of carpet or wood trim around a window. Keeping their food source of other insects helps to reduce the spiders as well. Sticky traps or glue traps also capture spiders. Place them in dark quiet areas where spiders often travel.
