To surely catch hair or the like contained in sewage flowing into a sewage treatang facility and to facilitate the manufacture by constituting wire rope of the catching material for a device for removing hair or the like so that cut pieces of the woof are integrally formed with the warp by cutting the woof of a net body between the warp.

A device for removing hair or the like is installed so that a part of wire rope 3 is immersed in sewage from the upper position of a treating vessel for causing the sewage in a sewage treating facility to circulate and flow. And relating to the wire rope 3, as shown in the figure (a), the woof 3b of a net body 30 having nods 31 formed, for example, by using combustible wire made of synthetic resin or the like or integrally formed by synthetic resin is cut between warp 3a every prescribed number of pieces (in this case, 5 pieces). In this way, as shown in the figure (b), while the prescribed number of the warp 3a are connected by the woof 3b to constitute the thin net body, the nods 31 and cut pieces 3b' of the woof 3b are integrally formed with the warp 3a. In this way, the catching range of hair or the like by the wire rope 3 is widened.
