Review: 3+ Years adult use! - I bought this three years ago as a funny surprise because my partner always scrambled to find a bit of paper to slide under the glass for those surprisingly large house spiders that appear out of nowhere. It wasn't meant to be a serious gift but has actually been an extremely practical item! Its not just a toy for kids! This gets used for bees and wasps in the summer (aka 'spicy flies' to the cat) and spiders and moths and everything else that finds its way inside. It doesn't damage the little critters legs or wings when used deliberately and we've used it to let the cat think she's caught the bug while preventing injury to either, so she ends her hunt without distress. With this much extended, frequent use the only concern is that the orange sliding flap has warped slightly on the closing edge so we sometimes have to extend it carefullt so bugs don't try to get underneath the small hump as its closing. Once closed it is secure though, as we've once or twice caught a late night spider and forgotten to release them the next day then found a small web built in there that requires a clean out. This has definitely been worth its cost and I don't think our house will ever be without one again!
Review: Humane capture of spiders before release back into the wild - Fantastic way to capture spiders and moths trapped in the flat and release them in a humane manner. Previously I'd look for a container and a piece of card but that was too much hassle. I found a huge spider tonight above my bed; captured and released it in under a minute. Hassle-free! This item is well-made and very durable. It is pricey but worth the money if you have a phobia of the insect you are capturing for release as you can hold it at arms length.
