As far as spider catchers go, this handy gadget is not just one of the most effective, but it's one of the most humane ways to safely catch a spider and release it back into the world, too.

Non-electric and super lightweight in design, it couldn't be easier to use — simply cover the spider with the clear catching compartment with the shutter open and then twist so the gravity-operated shutter falls closed and the insect is trapped inside. If the spider in on the floor or ceiling, the trap door can be closed manually. Then, all you have to do is take it outside and turn to release the spider.
