Found hanging on web on my bamboo in my backyard. Perhaps black and yellow garden spider?

Never saw anything like this. Recently had pest control for spiders and ants and they used organic materials.
Yes, this is Argiope aurantia. She’s an orbweaver. Pesticides used against spiders don’t seem to be effective. Ants are easier to kill with chemicals. Unfortunately ants taste bad to many predators, which reduces natural controls. What kind of spiders were bothering you?
