I've had success so far; However, our spiders are anything but calm, docile, and friendly house spiders. Wolf spiders are aggressive (when provoked) and fast. They range from "not so scary" to "my husband isn't going anywhere". I bought a My Critter Catcher for him hoping it would give him the courage to approach those monsters (his eyes) and carefully dig them up to release them outside to eat the rough bugs. So far I've been the only one using it. I think for a slow moving spider this would be a great tool. For wolf spiders, it becomes more like a game. None of the three I've caught so far just sat down and took it. They run. Quickly. I caught the first two in three attempts. The third was one of the big ones and a little bolder than the first two. On the fifth try I finally succeeded; However, he lost a leg in the ordeal. Let's hope it falls off again, resulting in a new leg for the little fella. All three spiders survived and escaped after I released them. I had to pull the first one out of the device, but the other two jumped out immediately. I think I'll stick with the Tupperware container and my spider catcher paper for those with kids, although I think kids could actually get caught in the bristles. I've got to try it outside - I don't want to risk all those little guys hanging around the house. My husband slept with one eye open until I learned to explain each little monster; Or we just have to move. (see update 20200823) 20170929: I found a spot where I couldn't use Creature Catcher. I entered the dressing room, looked at the porcelain throne and was speechless. Let me tell you about the silly side of the wolf spider. They cling to surfaces to hide; However, I have bad news for her - I see you! It's hard not to notice those long legs and tall body dangling from the white wall. Sorry guys, you are not mean. I would compare it to an elephant hiding behind a man. Anyway, I'm still looking for that particular joker. He sat under the edge of the dresser and just rested. I thought and thought about how to catch and release, but I just didn't want to dive into My Critter Catcher. I think I mentioned somewhere that while I'm not afraid of these creatures, I really don't want to cuddle with them, especially in such an intimate setting. With regret I hit the handle and I'm not kidding, this guy swam the wave to the other side of the bowl, threw a bird at me and disappeared. I haven't seen him since then and all I know is that he didn't go into the hole. It is on record that I go through the process of lifting the lids, sliding My Critter Catcher between the tank and the seat and the back of the tank before I even think about taking care of the business. 20190816: 2 years after the sneaky antics of the Hunter spider, I'm still using this device. We have an agreement at the farm - I catch spiders, we don't burn the house down. He takes action against cockroaches, we don't burn down the house. Peace and harmony are preserved. I had to buy a new broom when I couldn't get a particularly large cockroach out of my way into the bedroom, where my hero is napping, unaware of my distress. This evil creature zigzagged when I zigzagged, and zigzagged when I zigzagged, it chased me! I desperately jumped over the sofa and climbed onto the broom before this horrible nuisance could get me. As soon as I was armed he noticed it was on and tried to run away, but oh no, emboldened by my acquisition of a weapon I looked like a rampaging Ravenian, ready for blood (or goo). A quick hit to the wall, and seven hits later, the broom broke (some might think it was overkill, but no, she was alive because cockroaches are so invulnerable). Gathering up courage and choking on bile, I harpooned that disgusting demon. I then covered it with a plastic container and left a note for my husband along with the aftermath so everyone could marvel at the brave fight I had to endure. This helps get to otherwise inaccessible areas that arachnids love to taunt us from. Our playful and very distressing husband in the shower (buwahaha - don't tell him I laughed or he'll tell you how I marinated a cockroach in the shower with a gallon of vinegar. It... touched my hand - always goosebumps! ).20200823: I'm glad that my review helped many people! I came here to do an update - My critter catcher has already reached almost 100 catches and is still doing great. The bristles are starting to stretch out a bit, but I suspect soaking in hot water will straighten them back into shape - I just don't have a pot to sacrifice (approximately!), so I'm considering alternative solutions. (maybe a bucket that I pour hot water into). I have caught wolves with chicks and the chicks stayed in the stubble much to my husband's relief. You all should have heard that conversation, "No baby, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, baby!" That's the fireman we're talking about, y'all - a burning building falling around him is no problem, but you put 8 legs in front of him and he chooses the escape option. To be fair I have broken 2 roach killing brooms since purchasing My Critter Catcher. I've since bought a Bug-A-Salt and although it can take 7 shots to finish, salt ammo is cheaper than a new broom. And a lot more fun. Hunter spiders remain difficult prey due to their professional camouflage. They are practically glued to the wall and almost always in the corner between the door frame and the wall. I found the second one in our closet - never again will I do business in the dark. Florida is no joke! I was able to pull it out with My Critter Catcher and felt better than washing it off. I had a hunter who got so angry I could feel his tantrum vibrating through the hilt - he was a big boy. Big angry boy. For those who still have doubts about this product - do it! Even my husband got bolder to use this device after all these years, despite checking Bug-A-Salt several times, which I watched in warning. Remember folks, spiders kill roaches and that makes spiders valuable and precious.
