How To Get Rid Of Fine Web-like Growth On Outdoor Succulents, Cactus And Ficus Bushes

These look at like fine, white spider webs, though are more geometric (square/rectangular) in shape and start to cover the outer part of the plants. Is there something that can be done to treat this? They can also be found on the sides of planters, corners of railings and patio furniture. What is this growth called, and how best to treat (and stay on top of) without harming the plants? Thank you.
