Question 1

How scared were the spiders?

Accepted Answer

Imagine walking to your friends house, when all of a sudden you get captured by a contraption like this and displaced miles away in a foreign land. I believe you would have long lasting emotional trauma. Would you see your family again? How will you survive?  Where will you live?  These are just a few of the questions this spider may face. Would humanely ending spiders life be better than him wondering the streets, scared and alone for the rest of his days?  Everyone will know the type of person you are when they come to visit you and see this hanging above your mantle.

Question 2

Has anyone injured a bug with this? Like it couldn't walk away when you released it or was missing a leg or wing or something?

Accepted Answer

Most of the time, no. But there may have been a couple times they lost a leg. Still, though, it’s the most effective way to catch a bug without killing it, except for your own hands.

Question 3

What about spiders that carry babies on their backs?  Will the babies be contained? They tend to scatter if disturbed.

Accepted Answer

I'd recommend putting a small plastic cup over a spider with babies (clear is nice, so you can see where the spider is) and then gently sliding a stiff piece of cardboard under the cup so the spider is contained and can be released inside.  Pros - keeps all the babies with mom, even if a few scatter they'll still be in the cup and not in your house. Con - you'll have to get closer to the spider to catch her than you would with the Critter Catcher.

Question 4

What's to stop the insect from crawling up this and onto you while you're trying to get them outside?

Accepted Answer

The design completely encapsulates the insect, without harming it.  I was surprised by how well the bristles work .  I have taken out so many spiders and bees and have never had an issue. The handle is long enough to be safe even if that happened, which I have not experienced so far.  It also allows you to reach ceilings and corners where spiders typically create a web.
