Eric- I am normally for leaving things be and black widow spiders would definitely be in the category of a leave-it-be spider for me but not any type of a recluse. If she's got brown recluse spiders making her plants their home that would be pushing it for me. Every last one of them would have to go to heaven and the sooner the better. I don't know if you are familiar with what a recluse spider bite can do to a human but the link below says it all.

I do agree that repeatedly applying the alcohol to any mealies and aphids should work over time. It will also work on the scale if it is a soft bodied scale. If she's got hard bodied/armored scale, I doubt seriously if alcohol will be effective.
