Awesome dad invents tool to help scared son pick up spiders
Thank god for the digital revolution, here to give us even more adorable ways to slaughter pesky spiders.
Irish dad Tony Allen's son has always been afraid of spiders (for totally legitimate reasons that none of us should ever mock). But Allen didn't always want to kill the critters he caught, so instead he invented a new device to capture and release spiders. He calls it 'The Critter Catcher,"and yes, it is flawless.

'The Creater Catcher' combines the elegance of an everyday mop, with the speed and utility of a shoe heel. No, it won't kill the spider automatically. But it will collect it and release it in the location of your choice, somewhere safe where you'll never have to touch it again (hell).
It's easy, it's eco-friendly, and most importantly, it's ridiculously cute. All critical ingredients of a successful critter catcher.
