If you hate spiders (and don’t want to kill them) get yourself one of these

Humane AND handy.

Jade Hayden

Some people hate spiders.

Some people like them.

And some people are so terrified of them that they can’t abide even being in the same room as one without fleeing from the scene shrieking.

I am one of those people.

But I also recognise that it’s not the spider’s fault that he’s in the same room as me.

He just wandered in there for warmth, or food, or to have something to do while he waits for unsuspecting flies to get caught in his web.

He doesn’t deserve to get smushed by a book and have his lifeless body flung unceremoniously out a window.

He deserves better than that.

We all do.

Which is why the Critter Catcher is an absolute must for people like me, and you, and everyone who can’t deal with spiders but also has a lot of respect for them at the same time.

Described as “better for you, better for bugs, better for the environment,” the product allows you ‘pick up’ spiders (or any insect, really) and transport them safely to the outdoors without killing them.

Critter Catchers come in an array of different products from single critter catchers to explorer sets for kids.

Adorable.

They start at about $17.95 on the Critter Catcher website, or you can buy some similar (and cheaper) products over on Amazon. 

They don’t have as cute and clever a name, but we all do what we gotta do to save them few euros.

They also seem to get the job done just as well… at least according to some of the on site reviews anyway.

One Amazon user said that the device worked “very well” and that their grandchildren loved playing with it.

Another said that they brought a few of the product for all their mates.

What a good friend.
