The invention is a bug catching apparatus for catching and disposing of bugs. The invention catches bugs using a deformable wall, sticky on one side, and a relatively ridged perimeter to keep the sticky side from inadvertently sticking to a surface but still allowing the deformable wall to flex and catch the bug on the sticky surface when the bug is within the perimeter. The sticky part of the apparatus is designed to be disposable, so a user can catch and dispose of bugs without ever having to touch the bug. The invention also minimizes the mess associated with killing bugs and minimizes the mess of inadvertently getting a sticky bug catcher stuck to a wall or a countertop.
