Relax Arachnophobes! Help is close at hand,
or better still, arms length! The Spider Catcher is an innovative
new product which uses two sets of bristles to gently catch
the spider or bug, carefully trapping it until you decide
when and where to let it go. Because of it's flexible bristles
and long reach, it can get into high corners and awkward
spots to capture those pesky little beasts without you having
to go near them. No potentially harmful chemicals, no thong
hurling, no "splats" on the wall - No Worries ! If you don't
like spiders in your house but you don't want to kill them
either, then the Spider Catcher is just the right gadget
for you. The Spider Catcher allows you to pick up spiders
and other bugs while keeping a safe distance. The spider
is not harmed and can be released into the garden where
it will continue to be a beneficial member of your local
ecosystem. We also sell the Electroswat,
which is ideal for flying insects. See also, our: Electric

SPIDER CATCHER - the efficient way to deal with spiders
The PROBLEM: Balancing on
beds and wardrobes trying to remove spiders from your
children's bedroom, only ever managing to chase them into
corners and not wanting to harm them? Catching spiders
is not easy, and it is difficult to pick one up without
killing it. If you are afraid of spiders, you are not
going to want to pick it up, and you are probably not
that keen on harming it either. Swatting spiders is not
that friendly, and is not so good if you have just redecorated
your kitchen. Chemical alternatives, such as sprays, can
be noxious, and no-one really likes the idea of inhaling
whatever is contained in the spray bottle.
The SOLUTION: Our Spider Catcher is a new product
that enables you to catch spiders in your home and release
them into a garden unharmed. We have used Spider Gatcher
on hundreds of spiders and we have never harmed a single
spider. The Spider Catcher is so gentle, it can even catch
butterflies and moths causing no harm to their delicate
wings. The 65cm long arm keeps you at a safe distance
and can reach ceilings and corners. In fact, the
Prince of Wales was so impressed with Spider Catcher,
that he sent a letter congratulating the its inventor,
Tony Allen, on his idea.
HOW IT WORKS: Squeeze
the handle to open the bristles. Place over spider and
release the handle. The Bristles close around spider,
capturing it for safe removal. Can be let go outside,
or released into a container. Can also catch wasps, moths
and other insects. When you capture a spider, they generally
curl up as a defence mechanism. Always make sure you pickup
the spider correctly i.e. making sure that all the bristles
surround and catch the insect, to perfect your technique
use the fake plastic spider to pick up from awkward places
i.e. corners.
Where to use it:
- In the kitchen, in the children's bedroom (ie especially
in places where you want to avoid chemical contamination!)
- Holidays (creepy crawlies in your hotel room!),
fishing trips, camping, caravaning, in the stable,
on the farm, in the garden, on the boat
- In the office - everyone will want a go!

More about spiders: Spiders are ancient animals with
a history going back many millions of years. They have always
been with us, an ancient source of fear and fascination.
They are abundant and widespread and are natural controllers
of insect populations. Wherever you live, you're always
close to a spider. Spiders grow by periodically shedding
their semi-rigid external 'skin' or cuticle of semi-rigid
chitin and replacing it with a new larger skin they have
grown underneath the old one (this is called ecdysis or
moulting). This process includes replacement of every hair
on the body. Once they are mature most araneomorph spiders
stop moulting. However, female mygalomorph spiders moult
throughout life, although at longer intervals as they get
older. This allows some species, particularly tarantulas
(Theraphosidae), to grow very large. Most araneomorph spiders
(orb weavers, huntsman, etc.) live from one to three years.
Mygalomorph spiders (trapdoors, tarantulas) generally live
much longer. Some large tarantulas species (Theraphosidae)
take six to eight years to mature and live 20 years or more.
A long life and continuing moulting and growth allows some
of these species to grow very large - the legs of a large
goliath spider (Theraphosa blondi) may almost span a dinner
plate. Female spiders generally live longer than males,
this difference being especially notable in spiders like
mygalomorph spiders - e.g., male funnelwebs mature in two
to three years and then die about nine months later; whereas
females mature in three to four years but may live for many
years (six or more) after that. During the moulting process,
which may take many hours, the spider is in great danger
from predators, being soft-bodied and unable to move until
its new cuticle has hardened. For this reason moulting is
often done at night hanging safely in mid-air from a silk
line; or sealed within a silk retreat or moulting chamber,
e.g., in a curled leaf, a burrow, or under bark. |
