Where has this been my whole life? I’m one of those people that is absolutely terrified of all bugs and spiders yet I can’t bring myself to end their tiny lives. This device has solved my issues! It’s bigger than expected, easy to use and can grab a big spider no problem (not sure about roaches as we live in CO and don’t have those, thank goodness!)
It’s sturdy, safe and easy to use, and I feel like this will last a long time. Kids would enjoy the magnifying glass to see bugs up close, I’d rather not. Bought this one for my basement but plan on buying another for the main level.
No more having to use a glass and paper to take the insects out!

This little trap is great, and helped me capture and relocate two lady black widows (one with an egg sac). Black widows are native in California, so I released them in a secluded, human-free woodland.
The Carson bug trap works great at trapping the intended bug/spider, but as shown in the photo, the orange plastic piece buckles inward, which means that sliding it closed on a bug or spider will squish the intended guest. This is easily solved by using a firm postcard, CD lid, or other flat object. Just slide the card in under the guest, and then tip the device, together with card, backwards, so that the critter falls into the clear part, and now quickly slide the orange door closed, before they get their bearings.
Now, you might be saying, “at this point, why don’t I just use a jar?” But the advantages the Carson trap holds over a jar are significant: 1) you have the handle, providing both distance and agility; and 2) you have a small, rectangular trap size, which can get into the tight spots that critters like to head for when pursued, and that a jar can never quite manage.
I wanted to give this five stars, because it is so very useful, and I am so happy to no longer have those two huge black widows camping on my front doorstep, but the reality is that the door part could use some re-engineering, so it is only a smidgeon away from perfect.
Nonetheless, if you like to take pix of small critters, this handy tool, combined with the aforementioned user-provided card, will keep them in place long enough to get a few snaps.
And if you are using it to get those critters out of the house, I kindly ask that you relocate, rather than kill your captives—at least those that are native to your area. Finally, as a PSA, I just want to say to those of you who encounter wolf spiders, in particular, they are NOT poisonous, and extremely unlikely to bite, so please don’t hurt them. Thank you!

I am an adult who is afraid of bugs. This thing is amazing. No worries about having to touch or kill them, I can easily remove the bug from my home.
