How to exterminate spiders in a beverage distribution warehouse?

We are having trouble with spiders in our beverage distribution warehouse. Unfortunately we cant use regular "bug spray" due to the fact we carry consumable product. Does anyone know an all natural or OSHA approved spider/bug repellant that we can use without endangering the customers we service?

1. Exactly what is the trouble with the spiders? You should probably thank them for keeping the really bad bugs under control.
2. Contact your health department and maybe they can tell you what would be safe to use. Or call a company that does this type of work and they may have something special.
3. Spiders eat insects. Easiest way is to get rid of the insects. The safest and most expensive insecticide are pyrethrins, made from chrysanthemum extracts. These should also kill spiders. There are also synthethic pyrethrins.
4. To add to the above answer, Spiders are also cannibals,so they may be munching on each other if there is no evidence of other insects.
