There is a load of stuff on the tinterweb about using bug gel with arachnids. Its pretty much agreed by most that it doesn't work with animals without mouths, they can only ingest stuff in liquid form as they have to suck it up. There is also talk of the gel substance itself been bad for a basically all liquid inside animal. I actually don't bother providing water bowls for them when they are feeding, they just don't need it, only the non feeding ones have very small shallow water bowls (basically the Chilean).
