Lentek BV01G Bug Vacuum Hand-Held Electronic Spider & Insect Trap.  Recharger includedThis is an interesting concept.  You are grossed out by bugs showing up in the corner of your bedroom, you don’t want to hurt the poor innocent little bug, but you also don’t want to touch is.  Well…. Du Du Ta Do a bug vacuum to the rescue. 

Bug vacuums are actually a very effective device that is easy to understand and equally easy to use, so this handy contraption might be your  answer.

Bug vacuums are marketed as the alternative to using toxic sprays, powders, or smashing the critters.  The vacuum work in one of two ways depending on the unit you purchase. 

  1. Suck the bug in and kill it with electrification.
  2. Suck the bug in and store it to be released outside later.

Obviously, I like the second option better.  Bug are very effective little critters that feed the majority of the animals on the food chain.

Anyways either way you go with your vacuum. 

There are also toy bug vacuums available which will allow your kids to catch and see the insects around them without hurting them.  These options usually have clear plastic viewing areas which also work to magnify the bodies of the insects.  This can be a great way to learn some biology.

The “Keep Your Distance” Bug Vacuum

This cordless insect vacuum quickly captures bugs from up to 2′ away. Flies, bees spiders and other insects are suctioned by a 22,400 rpm motor, sending the insect through a one-way valve in the extension tube to an electric grid in the handle that instantly kills the pest. The extension tube removes to place dead bugs in the garbage, shutting off the electric grid in the process to protect curious fingers from electrical shocks or burns. Without the use of toxic chemicals or vacuum bags that can serve as breeding grounds, this handheld device has an extendable nozzle to reach insects in high ceilings, while the flexible rubber suction cup compresses to fit in tight corners, and the lightweight plastic design allows complete control while chasing flying insects. Includes a charging stand that plugs into AC and the unit has a LED charge indicator light to monitor battery life. 12″ L x 5″ W x 5″ H. (3 lbs.)
