Every week, take a broom or a vacuum with a crevice tool and knock down any webs you see. Including the high ones you pretend aren’t there.

Trim bushes and trees so they don’t touch your house. Spiders use branches as bridges. Make them walk the long way.
Keep firewood at least 20 feet from your door. That’s prime spider real estate. Let them live their lives out there.
