[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 142810, member: 27677"] Blowing can get them moving, as can a spray (not directly at the spider). At least it works for me, one spritz through a ventilation hole and they retreat to shelter, although sometimes they'll run around silly if startled. If you don't have a pair of good, long (12"?) tongs you should get some, it's about the only way to simply remove crickets without having to fully open a lid. Sometimes you have to settle for killing or wounding the cricket rather than risk a spider escape. [/QUOTE]
