The yeti's in bed with 'flu - except he woke up for long enough to have drink, meds and, um, grab the spider

You can easily pick up any insect with it, they feel in security inside the long fibers, go to a place outside you can be sure to verify the insect can be shaken out and stay out. Spiders are the easiest to pick up because their long legs tangle in the strands. I've also picked up wasps and bees and they did not feel threatened by the duster.

We have a small vacuum that's designed to suck up spiders and insects so they can be safely taken outside, but the tube is rather short. It does have an extension tube, but the suction isn't so good when it's on. And I suspect it does stress them a bit, too. We don't have one of those dusters - very eco-unfriendlyly we use disposable ones, mostly because getting delrin swarf off a normal duster seems to be near impossible.
