Here in Colorado we have a rather significant and very persistent population of both Black Widow spiders and Brown Recluse spiders. I'm not a person who loves either variety, and it's annoying to have a web attached to the two items I just set on the floor last night, but there it is. I've found that a few mothballs in a garbage bag together with the item in question seems to eliminate the insects and therefore the spiders that live on them. Apparently the spider can survive on very little prey, and can reproduce with little more than its now-useless mate. Egg sacs are common in the really obscure corners of equipment, but not when there's been enough effort to store it in a bag with a couple of mothballs. Those egg sacs, BTW, are tough enough to prevent the spindle of a DC-powered floppy drive which, of course, it is if there's an egg sac attached to it. Now, I deal with equipment that, in general, is smaller than what most of the "big iron" collectors use, but that's been my solution, though I've seldom used it. It does work, however.
