An insect catcher for trapping insects. The insect catcher includes a handle assembly to receive and manipulate a trap for trapping insects. The insect catcher includes a trap to capture and dispose of an insect without an operator of the handle assembly contacting the insect, the trap removably attached to the handle assembly The insect catcher includes an inflatable material as part of the trap which expands and is adapted to have direct contact with the insect to be trapped.

An extendable and adjustable insect entrapment apparatus reaches insects and pests in hard to reach areas through a multi-jointed elongated rod that hinges and pivots into various configuration to reach and entrap the insects with a pad of stacked, singular sticky sheets. The rod has a proximal end with a formed hole for hanging the apparatus from a distal end. At least one joint in the rod is fixedly set at a desired angle and orientation. The sticky sheets retain any insects which travel or fall into a base at the distal end of the rod. Each sheet is coated with a mild compression adhesive material that entraps an insect in response to an application of force against the insect. Each sticky sheet can be separated individually. Upon entrapment of an insect, the outermost sticky sheet restraining the insect is separated, folded to encase the insect, and disposed of.

A bug capture and disposal device includes a shaft having a working end opposite a handle end. A head plate is affixed to the working end and a pair of flaps are pivotally affixed along opposing sides of the head plate. The pair of flaps are selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A rod is disposed within an interior of the shaft and is operably connected to a control disposed on the handle end and each flap of the pair of flaps. Upon actuation of the control, the rod moves the pair of flaps towards the closed position. A retraction control is slidably disposed on the shaft, wherein the retraction control is operably connected to the rod, whereupon actuation of the retraction control, the pair of flaps towards the open position. An adhesive pad is removably secured to an underside of the pair of flaps.

Provided is an apparatus for catching insects, comprising: a) a body; b) a cover at least over a portion of the body; and c) a handle attached to the body; wherein a user holds the apparatus with the handle and presses the cover against the insect. The cover can be a bag. The apparatus can further comprise a substance placed on a surface of the bag for contacting the insect, wherein the substance increases adhesivity of the surface of the bag for the insect. The substance can be a gel. Also provided are methods of catching insects with the apparatus.

This device for capturing insects comprises: a handle (10), a head (11) fastened to one end of the handle (10).

The head (11) comprises: a holder intended to contain a pack of adhesive sheets (13) suitable for holding an insect, and a frame (14) that matches the holder and has at least one rim (15) intended to cover part of the pack of adhesive sheets.

The rim (15) is configured so as to constitute a predetermined tear-away zone (Z1) on the pack of adhesive sheets (13), so that the adhesive sheets can be peeled apart from each other without multiple sheets being removed together.

The frame (14) defines a cavity (16) adjacent to one adhesive face (17) of the pack of 20 adhesive sheets (13) so that insects present in the cavity (16) adhere to the adhesive sheet.
