Product Information
Full details
The PEST GUARD Foldable Spider Catcher is the ideal tool for homeowners, campers, and office workers who want to remove insects humanely without direct contact or messy sprays. Its primary benefit is the 83cm extendable handle, which provides enough reach to capture insects on high ceilings or behind furniture safely and easily. While it is highly effective for spiders, flies, and moths, it requires a steady hand and a quick trigger response to successfully capture more agile or fast-moving insects.

FAQs
Does it harm the spider?
No, the soft bristles are designed to hold the insect gently without applying harmful pressure.
Can I use this for wasps?
Yes, it is suitable for wasps, though we recommend using the full 83cm extension to ensure your safety.
Is the tool easy to store?
Yes, it features a foldable design that reduces its total length, making it easy to store in drawers or small cupboards.
Does it work on flies?
It is effective for flies that are resting on a surface; however, it is less effective for flies actively in flight.
Do I need batteries?
No, the catcher is entirely mechanical and relies on a spring-loaded trigger system.
How do I clean the bristles?
You can rinse the bristle end with mild soap and water, then let it air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
The trigger mechanism feels stiff or sticks
Check the spring area for any debris or obstructions and ensure the handle is fully extended and locked.
Bristles are not closing properly
Ensure the internal pull-cord is not tangled; gently extend and retract the handle a few times to reset the mechanism.
