Abstract
A device and method for capturing a live or dead insect on a surface and disposing of the captured insect while the user's hands are remote from the insect and the insect is covered from view and captured by an adhesive sheet. A handle is at one end of an elongate tube. The adhesive sheet is removably held by a support at a second end of the tube with the adhesive surface exposed for capturing an insect. The device is operable with just a single hand on the handle. The adhesive sheet is remote from the handle. The sheet is positioned on the insect to adhesively capture the insect. The operator can then position the sheet at a suitable waste receptacle, and pressing the end of the handle releases the sheet with the insect into the waste receptacle.
