No matter what age you are, whenever you need a job done, it's great to be able to call on your dad to sort it out.

One such father named Tony Allen, from Co Cork, Ireland, invented a gadget that helps remove spiders without killing them. He invented the 'Spider Catcher' because his young son was afraid of spiders. The product won the Gold Medal with distinction at the Geneva Inventors Show, and is on sale in the US, UK and Europe. You can get a household Spider Catcher and even a smaller travel version. Watch a demonstration of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNwPECUavj8 Lead image via YouTube/INSIDER
