My daughter rushed out of her bedroom because of a spider. This was my first opportunity to use my new BugBuster - and it didn't work. With it completely surrounding the spider, flush against the ceiling, the spider just hung on - when I pulled back from the ceiling, the spider dropped to the floor onto the carpet. Again I surrounded it, but it did not get sucked up into tube. So I just mashed it with the tube - which I could have done with my shoe. I'm glad my first opportunity to use it wasn't against a wasp - it might not have turned out as well.

It's not real powerful BUT it does the job. It's a little more difficult to get a spider in a corner but I just keep it running and nudge it a little bit and the spider gets sucked in. Then I keep it running until I get the cap on. I take it outside knock the plastic tube against the steps to knock the bug back down, take off the cap and hit it to knock the bug back out. It's fine. I have used it for over a year. I bought two more as gifts.

If you have a lot of time and patience to wait for the bug to crawl into the tube then this product is for you. It has absolutely no suction. I couldn't even get a small moth to go into the tube. Basically, you could place a glass or jar over the insect, wait for it to crawl or fly in, slide a piece of cardboard over the top and carry the insect outside and release it - and this method is free! Don't waste your money on this product!!!

It was a gift for my in laws they really wanted one. I noticed it doesn't suck that hard. It did work when they tried it on ladybugs. It's a very neat product.

THIS BUG CATCHER DOES JUST WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. YOU CATCH BUGS AND SPIDERS WITHOUT TOUCHING OR HARMING THEM AND RELEASE THEM TO SAFETY (YOU'RS AND THEIR'S) OUTDOORS.
