Some type of orb spider. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like the guys who began invading the area where I live about 4 years ago. I finally ID'd those as European Garden spiders,
 
Looks like what someone else said - orb.
There is the biggest orb spider at the post office by me, I'll try to get a pic and post it. It is a giant!
As far as a can of raid, I own a Rose hair tarantula and would be very upset!

I agree. I think it is a Barn Spider which is one kind of orb. I used to catch these all the time when I was a kid. Cool spiders!

Yup I looked it up and that's what it is, thanks for the help. I love these spiders their webs are so cool. They come out ever October and make their webs at night then are gone in the morning then back again in the same spot at night.
 
What's really cool is that they actually EAT their web in the morning and re-spin it at dusk...there is a lot of protein put into making the web....so they don't want to waste it. Nature is so cool!

Kind of like leopard geckos eating their sheds. They don't want to waste all that calcium!
