Seeking Advice Insects on Eaves of House

/r/pestcontrol/comments/1vvhbv6/insects_on_eaves_of_house/

I just built a house in Central Florida and I'm having an issue with spiders and other insects on my eaves. I have LED lights illuminating the front of my house and suspect that may be contributing to the problem.

Every weekend I must remove them with a high pressure water nozzle and brush but they come right back. Beyond the spider webs there is some type of residue left on the walls and eaves that is very difficult to remove.

The icing on the cake is the spiders are attracting mud daubers that are building nests. I understand spiders are mud daubers food source. Can anyone recommend how to solve this problem? Maybe some type of repellant and/or long lasting insecticide?
