YAST: Yet another spider thread

The people responsible for the grounds of the apartment/ flat complex where I live were heavily pruning/ trimming the ivy/ plants around the base of the building today, which must have disturbed the spiders, because a large black white tail (? I think) spider just walked in through my window (I almost never get spiders in my flat). I put a cup over it to stop it moving, then grabbed a glass measuring jar to squash it with, but when I lifted up the cup it got away from me, and disappeared behind the back side of my computer desk. I pulled the desk back, but haven't been able to find it. So it's in the flat somewhere. 🙁

The just look really nasty, supposedly have a painful bite, and have been implicated in that horrible necrotizing arachnidism syndrome where the flesh around the spider bite starts to rot off and the limb eventually has to be amputated.
