Spider zapper – Bug zapper

I am no sadist. But some people are terrified by spiders, and a spider-exterminator is far cheaper than therapy.

Capture

A vacuum from a vacuum cleaner seems to be a good tool for spider capture.

Plus:

  • Safe capture from a distance
  • The spider don’t get it as a threat until it is too late (science needed to back up this claim)

Minus:

  • The spider will keep living in the dustbag unless it is killed

Solution:

  • A filter / net is installed in the suction path, to block the spider from going into the dustbag while it is a live

Kill

A high voltage circuit – Using a voltage multiplier –  like a standard bug zapper seems to be a good way to kill the spider
