Can you do just one spider or bug at a time? I'm looking for something that can pick up several at a time.

It is more for 1 at a time. If the bugs are not moving and very close together multiple could be possible, but that would be quite the rarity.

Sorry, only one bug at a time. However, I am very happy with how well this gadget works. Was never disappointed in it. Even when the spider was curled up in a ceiling corner, it grabbed the bug on the first try. No matter how fast the spider was running, I got it on first try. Can't stand bugs.

You can open part of the bag, put it in the plants and they will crawl out one after the other over the course of several hours. I'd say releasing a portion at a time is smart since depending on the conditions they sometimes just take off overnight and only a few stick around. They probably prefer less competition. I only have a few potted plants, they do a good job of clearing out the aphids. Then they leave.

If you're talking about catching one after another, but leaving them in the container, yes. You can suck up one bug, re-compress the chamber, and then suck up more bugs. The first one will not be able to get out. I have done this twice. Then you can empty them all at once.

Yes.. if it is not a HUGE one. Any things crawl works - like carpenter ants, bees... too

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon. Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub. I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there. Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects. Next time I will do more research before I answer. Good luck Walt

You will become adept enough to take flies out of the air. I found that when a fly is on the surface, just hover over it and it will jump up into the webbing and kill themselves.

I don't think so. I might try it, and their wings are so delicate they might get injured. I have no fear of attempting to catch them in my hands. They don't bite. Since it is long, you might be able to "guide them out" a window perhaps. :-) I just never attempted it so I am not sure. Possibly the smaller little moths might do better than a Monarch or Swallowtail butterfly. And I am always surprised, knowing how delicate spiders are, when I open the brush, how fast they run away and seem to be OK. If you do catch spiders, remember not to drop them on the ground. They can easily be killed that way. People don't know they travel long distances with the thread they weave and sail through the air with it. Just dropped, they can die. Hope this helps.

If the spiders fly, it works great. Otherwise you may need to get the racket very close to the ground and ask the spider to jump a little. I use it for flies and bees with much delight, but for spiders, I suggest a tissue and an ounce of courage.

I don't know about rats but since I've had these I haven't had mice or spiders. I would think it's definitely worth a try vs. the cost of an exterminator. Check out the return policy.

Don't know. Haven't tried it. Did think about it, but the only good spider is a dead spider. It might though, because spiders don't really weigh anything.

I've never had to suck up a spider with it yet, but I can't imagine they would be able to withstand it. It's pretty powerful. I usually use my Dyson vacuum when I have to get spiders though. That way I can still stay a comfortable distance away from them :)

Possibly I haven't thought of that . I bought 4 spiders. It is non toxic. So it may be ok.

If they are small. A bunch of flies or small spiders, yes. Works AMAZING, just has a receptacle area that's fairly small. I just ripped a regular sized Post it Note into 6 pieces and scrunched them up. The first try, the BugZooka captured 3 of the 6 pieces. I "reloaded" and captured 2 more. The last (biggest) piece took 3 more tries. Most bugs would run off by then!

nope. I have one set up in the kitchen and bedroom and I have found spiders in both locations. I've also had the device up for quite some time now so it's not as if the spiders needed extra time or anything to relocate ;)

It works great with stink bugs. That is why we got it. We keep one upstairs, downstairs & at work. Works great with spiders too. My son said it "makes catching bugs a sport".

It totally depends on your room. And when you release them. I grow indoors but in one room only I had spider mites. I released 1500 of them. Do it at dusk or when the lights go out and they will not fly as much. Look on youtube, there are a few good vids that show you how to build them a home so they dont fly away. Honestly, most of mine ended up in a corner of the room and died the first few days even after building the home. I ended up using a spray because they didnt work

I bought a couple of these a few years ago and thought that it worked because I didn't think I was noticing as many spiders in my house.My kids started to unplug these from the walls and I was tired of findin them and putting them back in so I don't have them plugged in anymore. I do not notice an increase in spiders in my house.I would pass in purchasing this and spray around the perimeter of your house with an insect killer.
