FAQs
Can this kill the spider?
No, the device is designed to be humane and the soft bristles are meant to hold the insect gently without harming it.
Does it require batteries?
No, it is a purely mechanical device operated by a squeeze-trigger.
Can it pick up heavy beetles?
It is best suited for lightweight insects like spiders, moths, and butterflies; heavy beetles may be too large or strong for the bristles.
How do I clean the bristles?
You can gently rinse the bristles with water if necessary and let them air dry completely before storing.
Is it safe for pets?
Yes, as it is a physical tool without chemicals, it is perfectly safe to use around pets.
Troubleshooting
Bristles do not fully close around the insect
Ensure the handle trigger is being squeezed firmly and that there is no debris caught inside the barrel of the device.
Bristles are becoming misshapen
Gently straighten the bristles by hand and avoid storing the device with pressure against the bristle head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Spider Catcher requires no assembly and is ready to use straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with any indoor or outdoor environment where you need to relocate non-aggressive insects. To ensure the longevity of the device, avoid using it on heavy or aggressive pests that may fight the bristles. After use, check the bristles for any debris, such as cobwebs or dust, and gently clear them off. Store the tool in a dry, cool place to prevent the trigger mechanism from seizing and to keep the bristles flexible.
