Abstract

See full text

The present example provides a device for capturing insects from a distance with adhesive pads. After capture disposal is facilitated by enveloping the insect/arachnid in the adhesive pad. The device keeps the insect/arachnid at a distance from the user, and allows an expanded reach during capture. The design also allows for disposal of the insect/arachnid while keeping the user at a distance from the insect/arachnid. The device may also include an illumination source such as a flashlight or black light for illuminating the targeted insect/arachnid. The adhesive pads are easily coupled to the device, and held in place during use. A unique jaw design for supporting the adhesive pad facilitates capture and manipulation of the pad during disposal of the insect/arachnid. Finally, the device may also be used without the adhesive pads if desired. Such pad-less operation may also keep the user at a distance from the insect/arachnid.
