Katcha Acrylic Critter Catcher Live Trap - Large Plastic No-Harm Bug Trap & Insect Catcher with Handle for Indoor Use - Roach Traps Indoor - Bug Container for Safely Capturing Insects & Pests

Have been using this for over a year now and it works well!

One for front door entrance and garage.I live in Florida so there is always frogs and geckos coming through entrances unexpectedly.This trapper is very helpful to catch and release.We have been able to easily catch frogs and geckos without stress instead of chasing with napkins and cups..Cover opens and closes well.Great quality and not too big.This product has been a huge relief in stress making it so much easier to catch critters.If you have a small critter problem this will help you out a lot.We put device over the critter then you can slide the plastic cover.Frog stays in there. And then we carry to bush and release from a distance and it works well.Cruelty free.Will buy again and would highly recommend.

I love using this to capture spiders and bugs!! So much better than using a jar. It’s extremely flimsy and cheap but it does the job. Feels like a kids toy as it’s so cheap. I’m keeping it since this is the only product like this I’ve found for catching bugs from a distance. Also I’ve found the sliding door doesn’t slide on it’s own by tilting it as the instructions say. I have to manually slide it in because it’s a bit clunky. Still better than jar and paper method for catching bugs.

Best bug catcher ever. Wish the handle was longer. Use it regularly.

This may not be the best quality but still worth the money. It's perfect for catching bugs, especially if you want to release them. I would definitely buy it again and again.

Pros: Bigger, roomier version of the plastic cup and cardboard catch and release method, with the added bonus of a handle to extend your reach.Cons:- The advertising is slightly deceiving. The description on Amazon mentions "Extra long handle". The distance from the lid to the tip of the handle is 54 cm or 21 inches, as printed on the side of the box. I don't consider that as long or extra long, but I guess those terms are just relative, so technically I can't really complain.- The most important downside is that the printed text in the side of the box and in the printout inside the box imply that a twisting motion of the handle can open or close the lid without touching it directly. As others have pointed out, there is fact no mechanism like a wire, string, or spring that connects the handle to the lid. Perhaps the manufacturer meant that the twisting would orient the lid in a way that it will slide along the grooves due to simple gravity, thus opening and closing the bug detention chamber. There is however too much friction between the sliding door/lid and the grooves for the lid to fall into or out of place easily. One would still have to get closer to the bug detention chamber and touch the lid to slide it in/out to close it. Lubricating those grooves runs the risk of staining your walls, not to mention that this gravity-powered lid closing motion would not work if the critter was caught on the floor, as opposed to on a wall.

This has earned its keep many times over already. I have caught lots of bugs and it’s easy to catch and release. Unless they are on the ceiling. lol. Great purchase. I hate bugs but I don’t wanna kill them.

If you're buying this because you want to trap bugs and release them outside, this is not the tool for you. The lid that slides shut is thick, has a tab on the end, and it's balky - so unless the bug cooperates by climbing onto it and waiting patiently while you jerk the lid shut, you are going to jam the lid into the bug. It would be kinder to smack it with a shoe than fatally injure it with this lid.Also, you still have to get up close to the bug to cover it, and there is no mechanism that you twist that slides the lid shut - the handle is not in any way attached to the moving portion of the lid - you have to move the lid manually. (Second photo: where the handle attaches.)Essentially, this is a way more expensive and trickier, ineffective version of a cup and thin piece of cardboard, which I will be using from now on, having tried all the fancier bug-capture devices that ended up being failures as well. (You wouldn't think it would be that hard to invent a bug catcher that works - we can send a man to the moon, etc.)
