Cup-a-Bug

• Entrepreneur Justin Huang’s Cup-a-Bug tool allows users to catch everything from bed bugs to small lizards at a safe distance without killing them.
• Huang, 33, said his invention is based on the “cup and paper method,” which involves putting a cup over an insect and slipping a piece of paper under the cup to avoid harming the pest.
• Thanks to its long mechanical stick, the Cup-a-Bug gets rid of the fear factor by letting its users catch bugs from afar.
• As demonstrated on Huang’s social media, the mini container at the end of the stick is manually controlled by a handle, which opens and closes the container’s lid.
• The final version of the Cup-a-Bug will be available in August.
