In a recent attempt to work with my C. Darlingis, one bolted and went in to a corner near my sink. This was fine, it's happened with other spiders, so I went to go get him when all of the sudden he moves up, something that I was certainly not expecting. I did not know there was a hole right there and I had no idea that he would even fit in to anything there. Well he seems to have escaped in to some sort of minute crawlspace that I have no idea where it leads to, either in to the plumbing of the house or just stops right there. I have no idea where it leads to and frankly I feel like a complete idiot for not noticing the hole, but I have had spiders try to hide in the corner there before and none have had an issue with it. Right now it needs to be found alive or dead, as I have a family member who has had a history of medical problems and I do NOT want to risk them bitten. They are also aware of the risks of spider keeping and know there is always a slight chance of this happening, and they even help me with husbandry from time to time, so they are not "misinformed" and know the risks. I however do not want to even slightly risk a bite so my policy with this has to be either I find it alive now or I bug bomb the room and make sure it is dead. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this thing out?
I really am not in to mood for anything negative, I have experience with fast spiders but this ended up being an unforseen fluke that just happened to align in the wost possible way. This seems to be the icing on the cake of a pretty miserable day...
Any other spider and this would have been easier to deal with, but it had to be the absolute one spider I did not want loose.
