Spider Catcher - 2 Stick handle version

Had a couple of these & lost one in a move. Last one succumbed to the biggest spider I have had to deal with! So big that as I tried to release it the nasty creature bunched itself into the top & pushed all those nasty legs down hard. Thankfully I had got it out of the window as the base went with the spider. Couldnt fix it so bought another. Then got fed up having to rush to grab it when another 8leg turns up. These are so good for catching the nasty things as even though I hate them I dont like killing them. Decided this morning to get a couple more asap after accidentally treading on a spider as I opened my front door & rushed to get a catcher. New ones will last longer as took ages for the old one to give up. They do handle the very big ones also I have rescued a butterfly & numerous bees. So if you want to keep insects & spiders alive to evict them try one of these!

Works well,the handle could do with being abit longer

We get a lot of Harvestmen spiders in our house that come in from the surrounding fields. These have very spindly legs so the sliding door can be awkward to use, as it easily squashes these delicate spiders. However, with practice, I've found that if you can get the spider to drop into the apex of the pyramid, it is then possible to slide the door across without hurting the spider.I've also found it great for catching flies once they land on a solid surface.Could do with the handle being a little longer, but otherwise it's a good product.

I don't like killing spiders that come into the house, and I have other spider catchers, but they're not good if a spider runs into a corner. This catcher works well in those cases. You can fit the sqare against a corner of skirtingboard, or stairs, slide the cover across carefully, and remove the spider without harming it. The handle could do with being an extra six inches longer for those who really don't want to get close to spiders, but it's long enough for most people. You have to be careful when releasing the spider, when you let the cover out, so you don't harm it. It's been able to catch the biggest spiders that we get in the UK.

I brought this product to remove spiders and other insects that find their way into the house mostly in the winter months.The product works well and is straightforward to use, I have only given three stars as I did expect it to be slightly bigger and longer. However it is able to catch spiders of bigger sizes. I have found it to also to be a bit flimsy which thankfully hasn't been discovered when removing any critters from the house however this could prove problematic should the trap bit fall off during a removal. I highly recommend before using it that you make sure the product is securely fastened to prevent any mishaps. I would also say be aware that you keep the device in the same position and be careful not to turn your hand until you are ready to release the captured critters as the sliding door will slide quickly out of place and you risk loosing the capture. As for value of money I would say it is a fair price and a worthy investment for any arachnophobes.

Bought 1 of these from the people who used to put them betterwear books through your door. You’d order & they’d bring it round the following week. Well I had the catcher for years until my grandson was playing with it & broke it. I purchased this as I don’t like spiders but don’t like killing them. I normally use a glass but when it’s a spider that looks like it’s on steds I don’t like getting too close. Ordered this, bit disappointed the handle isn’t as long as user to be, but still better than being as close as a glass. It’s easier to get in the corners as well, as I’ve waited how long for spiders to move in the past.Overall a good buy Praying won’t need to use it though.

Works perfectly & humanely

Great little device, very easy to use and environmentally friendly
