Does it require batteries?

Troubleshooting
Bristles are not opening wide enough
Check that the trigger mechanism at the handle is not obstructed by debris and ensure the connecting cable inside the pole is not kinked.
Spider escapes before bristles close
Practice the trigger speed on a stationary object to get a feel for the closing timing before approaching a live spider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no assembly required for this device; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To maintain the effectiveness of the bristles, avoid storing the grabber in a way that compresses the bristle head for extended periods. When not in use, utilize the included storage hook to keep the pole vertical and the bristles free from obstruction. If the bristles become dusty or dirty, clean them gently with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not submerge the handle mechanism in water, as this may affect the internal spring tension.
