We have had this catch-and-release bug catcher in our house for at least 30 years! The longevity of this product, and the fact that we’ve kept it all these years, and USE it, is an indication that you might want to get one (or more) of these yourself!
The long handle on the bug-trapping tool means you don’t have to get too close to the bug or spider! It’s really easy to use. Once you have the bug enclosed in the trap, slide the little door closed and you can release the bug wherever you want.
There are a lot of these on Amazon and we bought ours YEARS ago. This one is closest to what we have. Katcha Acrylic Critter Catcher Live Trap Catcher with Handle for No Harm Trap. Check for discounts and deals when you checkout. #Amazon #affiliate link https://amzn.to/3x7u6v7

We have three of these fly zappers that look like tennis rackets. It’s always fun to hear the fly get fried. However, dogs and cats do not like that sound.
