Dreading the next encounter with a house spider or unwelcome insect? Say goodbye to squished bugs and frantic chases! This innovative bug catcher offers a humane solution for anyone who wants to relocate unwanted guests, not eliminate them.

Imagine this: a large spider scuttles across your bathroom floor. Instead of panicking, you calmly grab the bug catcher, extend its reach, and gently capture the spider in its soft bristles. With a sigh of relief, you release it back into the outdoors, feeling good about both saving a life and maintaining a pest-free home.

The bug catcher's versatility extends beyond spiders. Use it for roaches, crickets, moths, and even the occasional scorpion (with caution!). Its lightweight design and easy-to-use trigger mechanism make it perfect for everyone, from the arachnophobic to the nature enthusiast.

"It works really well for big spiders and regular spiders, and it worked on a smaller spider. My first time using it, it took a while for me to get to the toilet to flush it so it fell out but i caught it again. Itā€™s easier to catch them on a flat surface. And it makes getting rid of them so much less stressful. "

"I live in the woods, so the corners of my basement ceiling tend to accumulate cellar spiders. My husband, who works in the basement and isn't a huge fan of spiders but doesn't **** them per my behest, requests that I thin the herd from time to time (relocate them outside). I can't reach all those high up ones, so I bought this. It's great for reaching the high up spiders! I've been using it for years and I never even see broken legs, let alone an accidentally squished spider. I grab the huge ones, the tiny ones, I've even grabbed yellow jackets with this thing. It's humane and awesome for relocating. What a great product. "

Spider catcher

The spider catcher is very reasonably priced and does the job beautifully. I don't **** spiders. I catch them with this wonderful object and gentle relocate them outside. I've used one for over 5 years and writing this review after just buying another one as a gift for a friend!

Iā€™m surprised this works pretty well.

Not perfect but there's nothing better, especially for big bugs

Ok, so it's not always successful on the stab so to speak but so far nothing has gotten away. It takes a little touch and may take a few attempts, but I far prefer this to using a glass or bowl. For anyone who spends time in the south and has experienced palmetto bugs getting inside, you know how insanely fast those things are. With those, I'd use a glass bowl because they're almost too big for a glass, but you'd kind of have to throw the bowl down where you think they're going to be, not where they are. This works so much better. And once you've caught something, they're pretty much immobilized in the bristles until you release it outside. No more trying to slip a piece of paper under a bowl with a hyped up palmetto bug racing in circles like an F5 tornado looking for a way out. This is so much less stressful. It works on little bugs too.

Works great, and it's gentle and doesn't seem to harm the spiders

I live in the woods, so the corners of my basement ceiling tend to accumulate cellar spiders. My husband, who works in the basement and isn't a huge fan of spiders but doesn't **** them per my behest, requests that I thin the herd from time to time (relocate them outside). I can't reach all those high up ones, so I bought this. It's great for reaching the high up spiders!

Ten Stars!! Worth weight in gold

If you're hesitating to get this imagine being in a hurry, and just about to shower. Then a fairly big spider is right there at your feet in the tub (to me anything over a size of a dime is big because I'm afraid of spiders) if I wouldn't have had this I would have had at least 10 minutes of messing around. (Getting dressed quick since I'm not messing with a spider *****, trying to scoop it up with a dust pan-which takes awhile-screaming and trying to get my composure back when they jump or scurry, getting my boyfriend to come in and do it. This all takes time and when youā€™re already in a hurry that can be a tremendous pain. I will not **** a spider either by the way. So this morning I'm taking the time to review because I have time to-because of this little beauty I safely and extremely quickly put the spider outside unharmed-put the handle out the side of deck since it's handle is long enough to do so-squeezed the trigger/opened the bristles and the spider dropped to the ground. Then I was showering instantly no hassle! It works the way it says and I love it! Would recommend to anyone and especially to people who don't want to **** spiders and are afraid of them!

Great for those who don't want to touch or **** bugs.

A gift for a family member who is always trying to set insects free rather than **** them.


Alyssa C.Mesa, AZ

A lifesaver - literally

It feels great being able to capture and release scorpions, spiders, etc. Saves their lives and definitely makes mine a little better too. My only complaint is that it only works on some critters - and I can never really tell if it will or wonā€™t until I try. Couldnā€™t grab the house centipede off the ceiling, for example.

It Works!

Gently moves sizeable spiders and other bugs to the outdoors. No need for batteries or electricity. I've tried the battery operated ones however bugs can get caught up in the vaccuum blades and scatter.

Why didn't I buy this years ago?

This is a lifesaver for me and the bugs! I (almost) never **** bugs in my home. However, the methods I have used to remove them are usually complicated and difficult involving plates, cups, random plasticware, and patience. This takes all that out of the bug-saving process. Point, grab, and go! It even has a cover to put on it to keep the bugs in until you can get to a window or door. It is so easy and satisfying to help out my bug friends. I imagine them saying "Thank you!" as I let them back out into the wild. If your heart is big but you don't have the time to play mousetrap with kitchenware every time you see a fly, buy this and make your life easier.

Could be longer, works decently

Terrified of spiders, so this makes it so I don't have to get close to them to get rid of them. It hasn't failed me yet, but I'm scared smaller spiders will be able to slip out. Sometimes I reattach the cover while the spider is trapped to keep it from escaping, but I have to get close to the spider to do that. Wish the arm was longer.
