Spider catcher - where to buy?

MOH · 20-06-2010 10:02pm #1

(Not sure if this should just be in After Hours, but this is the best category under Home & Garden I can find)

Any idea where I can buy one of those spider catcher thingies that used to be around a couple of years ago? Either a specific shop in Dublin, or even what type of place would sell them?

There used to be a gadget shop on Jervis St that did them, but think that's gone.

My wife loves this type

even though she can't stand spiders she prefers not to kill them.

(She never trusted the finger type catchers)

Seen them in Atlantic Homecare in Blanchardstown the weekend near the plant feed section

Thanks for the suggestions folks, ended up getting it from their website.
Quite impressed with it, very simple idea but works very well. Was able to clear out the garden shed without a hoover-related massacre, and with a clear conscience

An empty yoghurt pot and a piece of card does just as well, and is a good deal cheaper!

Seems surspiciously like you work for the company. Anyway ya was contacted about supplying them even got a sample sent over, thought they were a good product but for £9.99 way too expensive for just a piece of plastic with some bristles at the end. I mean 6.99 would be a much better price point for the product. I think thats the main problem with the product at the moment. They either need to lower their prices by taking a hit on profits or by finding a new manufacturer. I mean E9.99 seems ok for it but 14.99 is just completly out of wack. You always add postage and packaging on afterwards otherwise it just makes the product look very expensive, customers dont see the saving in free postage and packaging

Sorry for dragging up an old thread but I need to buy one of these as a present for an arachnophobe but can't seem to find one anywhere. Has anyone seen them for sale (anywhere around Dublin) recently ?
Cheers

Wow, you got me. My 3000+ previous posts were just building up a cover so I could shill this product on a thread with 8 responses :rolleyes:

Think I saw them in Woodies about a year ago, maybe €12 in store.
Some of the other garden centre places might have them if you ring around.
Or order online, although works out a bit dearer, and if it's for Christmas you mightn't have it in time.

Thanks MOH, I got one in Woodies today €9.99.
Now all I need is a spider to try it out on :eek:
Cheers for that
