it's known as a daddy long legs spider. We had them in our garage and house when I lived in Florida. Never tried to get rid of them as they are non-venomous to humans and actually prey on other spiders (and mosquitos). We accepted that spiders of one kind or another were going to live with us, so we decided to let the relatively nice guys stay.
I suppose you could spray them with a garden bug killer, but they would just come back. Or something nastier might take their place, like...
Black Widow
Brown Recluse
And, yes, both of the above nasties live in Florida.
Ok, point taken. Daddy long legs is a much better spider to have around than those two.
