There's a Spider in the Corner and You're Not Touching It — The Insect Catcher That Solves This

There’s a spider on the wall above the bed. Your options are: kill it (you don’t want to), pick it up with your hands (absolutely not), trap it under a cup and slide paper under it (you’ve tried this, it doesn’t work, the spider always escapes at the worst moment), or leave it (not happening).

The insect catcher gives you option five: catch it cleanly from a distance, walk to the door, and release it outside in 30 seconds. No contact with the insect at any point.

Why Canadians Kill Insects They Shouldn’t

Canada has over 1,400 species of spiders and the vast majority are completely harmless. Most indoor spiders actively eat the insects you don’t want in your home — mosquitoes, flies, and silverfish. They’re free pest control. The reason most Canadians kill them anyway is that the alternative — catching by hand — is genuinely unpleasant for most people. The insect catcher removes that barrier and makes the humane option easier than the killing option.

Beyond spiders, wasps and bees getting inside is a significant Canadian summer problem. Trying to swat or manually trap a wasp dramatically increases the chance of being stung. The long-handle catcher allows safe capture and removal from across the room.

How It Works

The long handle keeps you at comfortable distance. Position the open bristle end over the insect. Press the trigger — soft bristles close around the insect without crushing it. Walk to the nearest door or window. Press the release. Insect exits. Done. Your hands were never within 30cm of the insect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it catch wasps without getting stung?

Yes. The long handle keeps your hands well away from the insect’s defensive end. Slow, steady movement is more effective than fast approaches which can startle the wasp. The bristles close before the wasp can react to your presence.

Does it work on very large spiders?

Yes. The bristle aperture accommodates the largest common Canadian household spiders including wolf spiders. For very large spiders, approach slowly and ensure the bristles are fully open before positioning over the spider.

What if the insect is on the ceiling?

The long handle reaches ceiling height when held at chest level for average adult height. The 360° head adjustment allows you to position the trap opening facing upward toward a ceiling insect.

Is it reusable?

Yes, indefinitely. Rinse the bristle head with water if debris remains after use. The mechanism is built for repeated daily use throughout the Canadian insect season.
