Spider Catcher

Unfortunately I haven't had a good experience with this spider catcher, so I'm really disappointed that I ordered two of them! The black house spider that i attempted to catch, sat firmly beside the woodburner laughing at my attempts to hoover it into the tube. Eventually it got bored of being tickled and seemed to scrunch itself into a ball, probably hoping I'd go away. I've also tried it on another spider which refused to disappear up the tube, and ran like hell across the floor. So my only conclusion is that I'm using this device really wrong, or I have body-building spiders in my house.

I was delighted when I heard about this product. I have caught dozens of spiders and many wasps since August. It enabled me to have windows open without fear in late summer which was lovely and now to tackle all the spiders trying to install themselves in my house over the winter. Brilliant. Thank you so much! PS - it's so good it got me to leave a review for the first time ever.

I have one of these in every room - they are the best product for catching spiders on the market. I wish you could make them more powerful though as large spiders can escape the suction.

I'm awful when it comes to spiders but I have caught a few with this. It doesn't work all the well when there is a cobweb involved which isn't handing but works a treat other than that. I don't have a problem with it falling apart as in other reviews as you can pull the tubes apart when emptying instead of hitting or shaking it (this is my partners job though). It hasn't taken the pressure off knowing I have it. Would definitely buy again. Thinking of getting one for the car also.

The reviews for this were mixed but I decided to give it a go. We have a lot of harvestmen and medium size spiders in the house. We had problems removing them and any that had spun any sort of web or silk to attach themselves to. If however the tube can be placed so there is no gap between tube and wall, after a few seconds it works. Maybe it needs a wider funnel type attachment for larger spiders? Oh, and a light sabre effect would be appreciated too to make wielding it more fun :-)

This is brilliant - even my husband agrees we wouldn't be with out it. We were so pleased with the Spidercatcher that we bought 4 more and gave them to our family.

I bought 3 of these (1 for each floor of my house) as I'm terrified of spiders and around September I get invaded by absolute MONSTERS. Each one fell apart and had to be glued. The clear tube is in 2 sections and often comes apart when tapping the spiders out. The batteries run down quickly and suction gets weaker and weaker until one day the device fails you - unable to suck anything up. However; when its working and not falling apart on you - its the easiest and most efficient device I've come across for a complete phobic like myself to catch and get rid with minimal screaming.

I can't catch spiders even with this, it terrifies me, but my husband used this regularly when we first had it. However I have to agree with other reviews, I think you probably need to buy a new one each year, which I can ill afford. Ours has basically now lost it's suction, it's taped together where it no longer stays together on it's own, and now we have to consider buying another one. I am loathed to buy this again though because of the deterioration of the product. I usually find Lakeland brilliant, this time not so much

I loved the idea of this as we have lots of spiders in the house and I'm not that keen on catching them, but this is next to useless. I found that basically any insect/spider could hold on against the vacuum even with the turbo booster. I only ever managed to catch one tiny spindly spider which I cornered. Certainly would catch a fly. Also found I needed to stick battery cover on with tape and it seemed poorly made. Only bonus is that now my little boy loves playing with it as a mini vacuum cleaner. Not what I expect from a Lakeland product.
