The best way to get rid of spiders it to get rid of the files yourself then.

If there is nothing in your house for the spiders to eat, you won't have spiders. If you remove the spiders but not their prey (flies, etc...), you will have more flies, and spiders will keep coming back.

The reason the spider web in the article is so huge is that there is a huge amount of flies to feed the spiders.
