How scared were the spiders?

Imagine walking to your friends house, when all of a sudden you get captured by a contraption like this and displaced miles away in a foreign land. I believe you would have long lasting emotional trauma. Would you see your family again? How will you survive? Where will you live? These are just a few of the questions this spider may face. Would humanely ending spiders life be better than him wondering the streets, scared and alone for the rest of his days? Everyone will know the type of person you are when they come to visit you and see this hanging above your mantle.

Has anyone injured a bug with this? Like it couldn't walk away when you released it or was missing a leg or wing or something?

Most of the time, no. But there may have been a couple times they lost a leg. Still, though, it’s the most effective way to catch a bug without killing it, except for your own hands.

What about spiders that carry babies on their backs? Will the babies be contained? They tend to scatter if disturbed.

I'd recommend putting a small plastic cup over a spider with babies (clear is nice, so you can see where the spider is) and then gently sliding a stiff piece of cardboard under the cup so the spider is contained and can be released inside. Pros - keeps all the babies with mom, even if a few scatter they'll still be in the cup and not in your house. Con - you'll have to get closer to the spider to catch her than you would with the Critter Catcher.

What's to stop the insect from crawling up this and onto you while you're trying to get them outside?

The design completely encapsulates the insect, without harming it. I was surprised by how well the bristles work . I have taken out so many spiders and bees and have never had an issue. The handle is long enough to be safe even if that happened, which I have not experienced so far. It also allows you to reach ceilings and corners where spiders typically create a web.

Have jet to catch the spider

The product feels sturdy and good in hand. I have jet to find the courage to really approach and catch a spider with it.

Works most the time

This is an interesting contraption, which I bought to catch and release the large wolf spiders that are beneficial to my garden, which often get in my house. It works most the time on the average sized ones but I had a really large one, close to 3 inches and it definitely had no effect on that guy he just ran off. but I still kinda like this thing. It’s better than picking them up with paper towels and dumping them outside.

Cool idea. Broke instantly though

Cool idea but mine instantly broke. The plastic isnt strong enough for any clamping force from the trigger. Its a shame

If you have a spider phobia GET THIS!

I've had a serious spider phobia my whole life. My ex used to handle them but we broke up and i moved out-suddenly its on ME to get the spiders! I find it really hard to get close to them-even if i have a big wad of paper towels im convinced the spiders going to get out or i'll miss it, and itll get on my hand, so each time i had to get a spider itd take ten minutes of psyching myself up to do it, i'd fail half the time bc i tried to do itfrom far away, ect.Critter Catcher changed everything! First of all its LONG (Thats what she said), which enables me to stay a safe distance away so i dont start panicking. 2ndly the gripper bristles WORK. Big or small, they trap the spider and it doesnt fall out either as you walk through the house to let it go outside or flush it or whatever youre doing. They even give you a clear plastic cup that fits over the bristles, which you can put on after you catch the spider for added security. They give you a wall hook with a sticky back to hang it, too.Honestly best purchase ive made in a while!

Love that it helps tiny critters, just positional

It’s gentle and hasn’t harmed any bug I’ve used it with (carefully). It works for 99% of cases, but is hard to use in corners or directly above you on the ceiling. It’s not a design issues, just physics. Get the camo one… bugs will never see you coming.
