Some spider race models can be removed from the client to prevent them from showing up in the game. Specifically, spd_chr.s3d, tar.eqg, spq.eqg, lsp.eqg, lsq.eqg, and mta.eqg.
Many older zones, however, have the spider models stored in the zone files themselves. If your friend plays on a server you have control over, you would have to change the race numbers of the spider NPCs to other race numbers in order for them not to appear.
Running some npc_types database searches, the race numbers for spider creatures in EQ appear to consist of 38 (old spider), 326 (arachnid), 327 (crystal spider), 440 (new spider), 441 (new spider queen), 450 (lava spider), 451 (lava spider queen), and 654 (spider mount). It was with those numbers I was able to look up the model files to delete.
Race 57 (old drachnids) and 461 (new drachnids), are also half-spiders (and half dark elves), so they would likely need to be changed as well. The models for the new drachnids are dcm.eqg and dcf.eqg, for male and female. The old race 57 models are built into the old zone files. Mostly Kunark, I think.
