Try faking (be as realistic as possible....hairspay?) that you are spraying for spiders or otherwise killing all of the spiders and spiders eggs in the room while assuring your kid that this will work.

Buy him a special "spider repellant" that will not allow any spiders near him or his bed. http://shopping.yahoo.com/t-Bedding/mosquito-net-bedroom

Let child help you remove all critters (eight legs or any other amount) with the vacuum. Then (depending on age of kid), do a bit of spidery explanation with a quick run through of Incy-Wincy (optional). When room is cleaned and clear of all insect life pick out one of kids toys (stuff animal is good) and put the toy 'on guard' in the bedroom each night. Make a big thing and tell kid (age depending), that (eg) Barney the purple dinosaur is the new Spider Security Sentry and his job is to prevent any and all spiders entering the room. Give the toy a torch, a hat if you can and place it where it can see the room (window sill) or by the door.
