He’s not lost anymore but also not found. At this point, I’ve set out a seedling mat (they stay at like 90F), a makeshift hide and water outside where I believe he is, but no luck the last few nights. He’s migrated from the spot he was in but is still inaccessible and out of view. I still use flour to track his movements and I can see he is no loner going for the dishwasher, stove or refrigerator based on the lines not getting squished down; I removed all of the skirtings. He is still migrating somewhere around my kitchen which also has a utility closet with HVAC ... pretty sure he is under there and it’s even less accessible than anything else and the most dangerous to both of us to mess around with. Hoping he comes out in the next 24 hours or I will have to call someone. Only way to get where I believe he is, is to cut into the floor that raises the furnace and water heater off the ground. Or cut through the drywall ... I may do that because I know I can patch it. May just do that tonight anyways or certainly in the morning if my “trap” doesn’t work. He’s a cunning little guy and I know I need to get to him ASAP, but I am making sure he is taken care of until capture. The flour lines have really helped me isolate him or at least know when he leaves the kitchen and goes back into it. I would love to stay up all night waiting on him like I did other the holiday, but alas ... work.
Thanks for everyone’s support in saying it happens and thanks for asking for an update. I feel bad I haven’t captured him yet, but I don’t want to trap him as most people use glue pads and then a solvent and that just seems wrong to me. He is also too fat for the water bottle trap trick; I feel.
