If you do not have a specific written agreement that the landlord will pay, then you pay.

In general most spider infestation are just a nuisance, but even "benign" species can cause health issues to certain people so if a tenant is at risk from recurring spider bites that send them to the hospital I would think the landlord would be held liable to the extermination.
