Lakeland Spider Catcher

Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly, 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there." Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again." The Spider and the Fly Mary Howitt Now, I'm not scared of spiders, but my boyfriend is, especially since my home has recently become home to a colony of wolf spiders, due to some maternal female spider coming in with her young.

Firstly, I must point out that this is NOT a review of the LAKELAND Spider Catcher - but Dooyoo, in their wisdom, have given me this category rather than a new one as requested! If you want to live and thrive – let a spider run alive. This was what I was told as a child and was probably one of the reasons that I grew up not killing spiders. In fact, I don’t kill anything if I have the choice – with the possible exception of fleas and aphids! That isn’t to say that I actually LIKE them of course, and I choose NOT to handle them above a certain size because for one thing they bite and for another my niece is actually allergic to them so I’m not ...  Read the complete review

Well before I tell you all about this product I will tell you why I bought it. The main reason is that I hate spiders, I can't go to sleep in my bedroom if I know that a spider is on the wall. I have this worry that it's going to climb on me in the middle of the night!! I have always hated spiders and when I was younger I had to get my mum and dad to remove them and now I am older it's my husband who gets the task.

So I ...  Read the complete review

I got mine from a website called buyabugbuster and it arrived next day. Its fantastic. I thought it would be just a gadget but it really does work exactly as it claims! Just point it towards the spider and hold the end about a couple of centimtres away, presss the button and... BAM! the spider is sucked up into the tube. Every spider I have caught (dozens now) have been OK, not killed - the bug buster is certainly humane. Once the spider is in the tube, I just hold it straight up, open the window and the tip the spider outside. I can't think of a bad word to say. For less than a tenner and it even comes with a decent battery (Energizer) not one ...  Read the complete review

I am lucky enough not to be afraid of our eight legged friends, my husband however is terrified. He is a big tough cookie but put a tiny spider anywhere near him and he turns into a screaming banshee. Obviously I couldn't let this go on for his sake and mine, and after my "just touch one and you will be cured" scheme ended in tears - literally, I had to resort to other methods. I came across this Lakeland spider catcher whilst I was shopping one day and thought it would be perfect. It cost £8.80, which I felt was a very fair price as it comes with the battery included. The catcher consists of two clear tubes that fit together ...  Read the complete review
