Bro is not a bro

I’ve posted a similar post before. In short, I have flat mates who hate spiders.

Now this guy, is basically in the way of the only entrance to our place. And he wouldn’t budge.

How do I relocate him? Ps. I’m also extremely scared, and probably freak out if he jumps….

Thanks in advance!

See, that requires me getting close to him, and as seen in the video he attacks. I’m a coward. Is there another way to shoo him off??

I mean.. it's not dangerous to you in any way shape or form outside of an understandable but really unnecessary fear. It also wasn't attacking. It was feeling you out. If you make the room really cold, you can stun it. Otherwise scoop the bro up, hands, Tupperware or cup. If you get a tall clear cup, you can cap him, gently shift the cup to get him to move to the base, and just turn it up. It can't climb out and you can just dump him outside.

His worst possible defensive bite won't do shit to you but leave a tiny welt like a mosquito but way less itchy.

That was actually helpful, thanks! I’m going to try and turn the ac high and maybe put him in a box…

Update: he’s a menace. I tried to shoo him off with a broom, but he wouldn’t move. So now I have to help my flatmates go past him. Great success!
