The area that are infested are actually outdoor.
It's hard to explain, but the house is a wrap around structure, meaning
the
middle is a courtyard with a pool, and all around this courtyard is the
house. Over the courtyard is an screen enclosure attached to the roof
system.
So the courtyard is screened in, so that no insects can go in or come out.

Now the spiders are creating the web inside the courtyard along the
aluminum
framing members of the screen enclosure. In each corner, along the frame
and the screen. How they come inside is anyone's guess, as those screens
are supposed to be "no-seeum" screens.
The house is vacant since I am remodeling it, and there are people working
in it but no one stays there at night so during the night time all lights
are off, so it is unlikely they come because of any lights as there are no
lights.
The type of spider I did some search and it looks like this one:

the spiny backed orb weaver.
Along the framing members I see the web and dangling on the web are a lot
of
greenish pod looking things. Are those spider nest or cocoons?
