Spider Catcher

spider_catcher.jpg

I get scared stiff whenever I come face-to-face with any member of the insect kingdom. And no amount of reasoning on my part has helped me get over this fear. Just sighting an insect has such an agitating effect on my nerves that extracting it out of the house is next to impossible. Which means, I am extremely pleased that somebody decided to come up with the Spider Catcher. To give me some solace when I'm attempting an otherwise extremely repulsive task.

This simple yet extremely useful device helps you pick up and transport insects with ease. And to do that, all it has is an extremely long trigger handle (65cm) at the end of which is a soft bristle-head. What you have to do when you spot an unwelcome creepy-crawly is, position the bristle correctly and squeeze the trigger which then gently closes the bristles over the insect. The insect can be quickly (and more important, harmlessly) whisked away with you still remaining at a safe distance. Though this handy gadget has been christened as the “spider” catcher, it can also be used for various other insects as well. I couldn’t ask for more – atleast for now. Check it out at Gizoo as it retails for around $15.
