ALDI is bringing back its spider catcher so you can rid your home of creepy crawlies.
The device allows even the most squeamish customers to remove spiders without harming them.
It works by trapping eight-legged intruders within a soft brush so they can be safely released outside.
To use it, aim the bristles near the creature and gently squeeze the handles together to keep hold of the crawly.
Now you’ve got it trapped, head outside and release the handles on the contraption to get rid of the spider.
The catcher is made with a 60cm long plastic rod, so you can reach high ceilings where spiders make their cobwebs.
It can also be used to get rid of moths, butterflies and other pesky insects.
Aldi shoppers went wild for the spider catcher when it was first released this time last year.
It’s back at the same price of £7.99, with pre-orders available online from August 23 before it hits stores on August 27.
An identical spider catcher is currently being sold on for £18.99 - that's £11 more expensive than Aldi.
Spider season usually hits the UK around September and October, although some Brits say creepy crawlies have come out early this year due to the warmer weather.
Professors have also confirmed that we ARE seeing more spiders than ever before, which is bad news for arachnophobes who've been stuck inside during lockdown.
