"Bug Plucker" Leaves No Stains
Smashing bugs with a rolled newspaper or a fly swatter leaves unsightly stains on household surfaces. Charles Urso says his new "Bug Plucker" offers the perfect solution. The 2-ft. long wand is equipped with a head that snatches bugs from any surface without crushing them.
"It can be used on walls, windows, ceilings, counter tops, or other household surfaces without leaving any stains. It also works great for snatching spiders and other crawling creatures from patios, porches, and decks," says Urso.
The head contains a 2-in. wide roll of high-adhesive tape. One section of the tape faces outward and is backed by a foam pad. You snatch the bugs simply by touching them with the tape. The bugs get absorbed into the foam-backed tape without being squashed. The bugs can simply be brushed off the head for disposal (a brush is stored inside the hollow wand, with an end portion of the wand forming the brush handle). The same section of tape can be reused many times, or it can be advanced and replaced by using a built-in cutter to cut off the used tape. By loosening a wing nut, the head can be opened up like a clam in order to replace the tape roll.
Urso says he's looking for a manufacturer.
