Yeah you can use the spider hat, they're affected by it just like regular spiders. Remember that only 10 at a time will be your friends though...

At least each spilagmite only spawns a max of three spiders at a time, so get your buddy spiders to engage the others, and while they're doing that pickaxe their nests. You'll have to remember which ones you destroyed though since the map helpfully doesn't show any difference between a destroyed and an active spilagmite...

Have fun!
