It's interesting that it also triggered their ballooning, the mad scientist in me wonders if you could create a big field over a large area (like your back yard) and trigger a mass exodus of spiders.

This mass-ballooning has occurred in Australia from the spiders fear of drowning from heavy rains.
In theory, your idea sounds plausible :)
