Generally, I leave spiders alone. In my house, in my shop, in my garage, in
my garden. They don't generally setup housekeeping unless there's adequate
food supply. Otherwise, they move on. They are nature's version of insect
"roundup". Generally, you leave them alone, they pay the same favor. You
probably need something more than to kill the spiders if they've been there
for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, you'll figure it out without chemical
aids.

I haven't seen Garden spiders in a few years, but this year they seem to
have had a resurgence.
I had this big beautiful intricate web strung between a Japanese Maple
and a Rhododendron. It was about 2' across. My wife accidentally walked
through it and destroyed it.
The next day, there was another great web between the rear view mirror
and the door latch end on my truck with an anchor going down to the
driveway. I felt bad destroying it so I could move my truck. I'm
looking around for another that I can photograph.
