I honestly thought this would be one of those items that sounded too good to be true, where I hoped it would do what it said it would, but I wasn't 100% convinced it actually would! Oh my word was I wrong!! This item is fantastic!! Having been scared out of my wits by one of our eight legged arachnid friends grinning at me, teeth bared and all, from our living room wall, I ran screaming for my spider catcher. From a safe distance (minus any safety goggles,) I was able to catch my now wriggling prey, and subsequently launch him from our first floor window. My eight legged, not so little, friend has now had his first flying lesson, my lounge is spider free, and I can relax on my sofa a little easier now! I kid you not, this is one of the best things I have ever bought, and will be a firm favourite as a Christmas gift for many of my other scaredy cat friends this year!
