I get a lot of those very spindly spiders ("cellar spiders") which I tolerate up to a point, but their untidy webs can be a nuisance. This gadget is gentle but effective and can suck them out of high corners without harming them. Like other reviewers, I also find the spider-catcher helpful for flies and so forth which can't find the open window!

I can't deal with spiders normally but this makes them easy! Just turn it on and edge it towards the victim. Sometimes you may need to give the spider a little push with the plastic end, but then in it goes. I keep the device on until I've got the plastic stopper in place so they don't try to escape. I've also used it with flies, gnats and moths too. The only downside is that the creatures often don't want to come out of the tube once I detach it outside. Shame there isn't a reverse feature to blow them out. It's a very handy device though!

This is a brilliant gadget and every house should have one. Even enormous spiders get sucked up ready to go into the garden. Also good for wasps and bees.

Although I’m terrified of big spiders, I don’t like killing them so when I was given a spider catcher as a present, I found it the perfect answer to my problem. So much so that I ordered another one, so I now have one in the sitting room and one in my bedroom, both easily accessible for sucking up any invaders and releasing them into a new life at the far end of my garden

I've had my Spider Catcher for years, although I don't mind spiders, it's a safe way to scoop them up and put them back outside where they belong! I also use it for pesky annoying flies that don't know how to get out of the window! Even works when the battery is on its way out, it will still pick them up. Recently bought another one for my daughter to use whilst away at university.
