ABSTRACT:
An insect stopping and capturing device, comprising a handle with a compression chamber at one end of the handle. A shaft extends through the handle into the compression chamber where a soft head is attached to the shaft, the soft head larger than the diameter of the compression chamber. A hand grip is attached to the shaft opposite the compression chamber. From a comfortable distance, the user positions the soft head over a crawling or stationary insect. The hand grip is pulled away from the compression chamber to draw the soft head into the compression chamber to wrap the soft head around the insect as the head is being compressed. The insect can then be released outdoors by pushing the hand grip, which in turn ejects the insect. The insect may also be terminated by simply placing the compression chamber against a hard surface and then pushing the hand grip toward the surface. The head is compressed against the surface, crushing the insect contained therein. The user then lifts the device from the ground, and ejects the crushed insect remains.
