Spider Vac

spider vacLove them or hate them spiders just seem to be everywhere where we don’t like them. In our bed, table, or even in our tub; we just have to get rid of them in one way or another. Unfortunately, we don’t have much choice in getting rid of them. We usually kill them with a slipper, a rolled up newspaper or a hardbound Harry Potter book that would all leave a spider crime scene which would pinch our conscience. But still, how bad they might look, some spiders are actually beneficial insects gobbling up other unwanted organisms. The question still remains, how can you get rid of an insect which you are afraid of but not kill it? Answer – the Spider Vac.

The Spider Vac can capture those eight legged creatures using a vacuum mechanism that easily lifts them of the ground and into the tube which you could plug to trap the spider inside then release at a better location. The fully extendable 17.5in capturing tube will ensure safe distance between you and that nasty critter. The lightweight and ergonomic design means easy maneuverability of the device to avoid accidental release of the spider like in your foot or someone’s head that could cause a greater commotion not to mention forever hatred. Upon thinking on it, this device could also be used on basically any other insect that you want to get rid of like roaches or flies. For a few bucks, this device is a must have for arachnophobics and the like.

Don’t let the water drip

Conserving water and energy is a big deal in everyone’s lives. The continuous shortage to some parts of the world poses as a big threat and should be heeded by all mankind. In lieu of this, designer Julia Treutiger has designed a shower head that “thinks’ to help you conserve water.

This gadget has divisions which acts as timers every time you take the shower head off its cradle. The segments then slowly snap back into place slowly but it still gives you enough time to rinse your hair and body before it automatically shuts off the device to help you realize that you are already wasting too much precious water.

This shower head is a great design especially since most people leave the water running even if they’re not using it. Like when you’re brushing your teeth or shampooing your hair, water doesn’t have to be pouring out of the faucet. However, some people have been used to hearing the water splash down on the floor but in times where we have to be environmentally conscious, even a single drop is considered a big waste.

Now hurry up and scrub those remaining suds behind your ears before time runs out!!
