83cm Foldable Spider Catcher, Long-Handled Catch and Release Bug Grabber

Best thing ever. I can catch them, not hurt them and put them outside and THAT is saying a lot because I'm terrified of spiders but don't want to kill them. It doesn't hurt them at all and it's far enough away I can handle it.

We have used this for years to catch spiders and other insects that dare to enter our space (indoors) and to return them to their own (outdoors). Simply position the tool over the invader, squeeze, open a door, squeeze to release, and away goes the problem. The tool is strong enough to catch its prey but gentle enough to do no harm. The insect gets to live in its proper place and you don't have any bug mess to clean. A bonus is that the tool is long enough that it can remove spiders from the ceiling. Love it!

Terrible , it broke when I tried to use it. The bristles at the end won't open & close. Cheaply made. disappointed!!

This item is a lifesaver for anyone who doesn't want to get too close to spiders and doesn't want to kill them. I've safely removed dozens of spider from inside to outside over the years

Have to put it where you can get to it quickly since spiders move quickly! Have had success a couple times!

I have purchased what I thought was identical items before and was very satisfied.This items resting position is with the bristles open. And you pull the trigger to close them. Also, the bristles don’t open very far.The superior unit, the bristles bias position is closed, and you pull the trigger to open the bristles. They open much farther and make a better capture.However, this unit is still functional though not quite as effective.

Ever since getting this, I have managed to rescue and relocate several spiders and crickets. It does have a bit of a learning curve, and one spider did die in one of my attempts. Definitely has to be a decent-sized critter that you're trying to catch. I am always a bit nervous when folding it up, and extending it to full size. The inner cord is very tight, and you have to turn and have it go through the little cut-ins or it won't fold. I'm afraid of breaking that, but maybe that's not something I need to worry about.

This thing is great!The end has plastic brushes that open when you squeeze the handle. Open and close all of your fingers in a pinching motion and you get the idea.You lower it over the "Critter" that needs to be removed and release the handle to close the end. Go outside, open the handle and dump out the passenger.There are two layers of brushes: one gently sweeps the critter into the center, the other is shorter, firmer and has inward curved ends that touch so the critter doesn't go out the end of the bristles.We drop spiders outside, so have noticed that it does sometimes break a leg of the more delicate ones but they at least have a chance, unlike if they stayed in my house.You'll be glad you bought one of these!

Amazing tool to have if you are creeped out by bugs in your household. I have a open space behind my house and i get spiders frequently.. this tool is amazing.. now i can release them without killing them. Win win

I got this because my daughter really dislikes spiders and I wanted her to be able to deal with them without calling me all the time. When I first saw it I thought the end was too flimsy to grab spiders effectively but it works surprisingly well - so well that she has no problem collecting spiders and placing them outside without me now!

Absolute GARBAGE - do not buy this particular product. Not only is the whole thing VERY cheaply made - the "joint" area of the extension is very wobbly, doesn't fit together well, and feels like it will break at any moment. But even more importantly, the way the bristles catch the bug is (very importantly) OPPOSITE to what it should be. I have another older trap, better made trap and with it, you squeeze the handle to OPEN the soft nylon bristles, place it around the spider/bug and RELEASE the handle to close it - trapping the bug inside, then you can comfortably take the bug outside.With this trap, the bristles are always OPEN - you then place it over a spider/bug and with great difficulty because the handle is so cheap - you squeeze the bristles CLOSED over the spider/bug. You then have to keep a death grip on the handle to keep it closed while you walk to wherever your outside is to release the bug. It's VERY difficult to keep the handle squeezed tightly enough to keep the bristles closed. A proper catcher is the opposite - you open to catch the bug and release to close the bristles.

Lol it actually works! Just wish it was a bit longer.

Works great! I have another version of this, a bit shorter. I appreciate the longer handle on this one. It works the same. It will pick up even the tiniest of inserts, gently, allowing you to deposit them safely outdoors. Picking up a spider is really comical, because they act a bit confused after you release them, but as soon as they get their bearings off they go with speed. It does not harm insects at all. Humane, eco friendly and great entertainment, except maybe for the insect.
