Aldi has announced that it will be bringing back its "viral" Spider Catcher. Autumn marks the start of spider season, so people across the UK will likely be visited by some unwanted arachnids soon enough.
The supermarket said: "Aldi is coming to the rescue of arachnophobes across the UK as it announces the return of its viral Spider Catcher (£8.99), which has seen videos rack up as many as 21,000 views on TikTok.
"Helping shoppers face the dreaded return of the long-legged creatures, the must-have device will be available in stores from August 22.
"Those that want to keep a cobweb-free home better scuttle to it though, as with all Specialbuys once they’re gone, they’re gone.

"With the eight-legged friends commonly crawling into homes throughout the autumn months, this nifty gadget returns just in time.
"Measuring 60cm long, no nook or cranny will be left unturned, and with humane, soft bristles to delicately hold insects without harming them, critters can be picked up without needing to get up close and personal.
"Once safely deposited outside, just give the Spider Repellent Spray (£4.99) a spritz to enjoy a bug-free home.
"Made with natural plant and mint oil extracts, spray around windows and doors to create an invisible barrier that deters spiders."
