FAQs
Does the vacuum harm the insects?
No, the suction is designed to be gentle enough to capture insects humanely so they can be released outdoors.
What type of battery does it use?
The device requires a single 9V battery, which is not included.
How long is the device?
The Bug Vacuum measures 43cm in length.
Can I use this to catch flies?
Yes, it is effective for small insects like flies, provided you can get the tube close enough to them before they fly away.
How do I release the bugs?
Simply take the vacuum outside, point the tube toward a safe release spot, and move the device away from the bugs; they will typically crawl out on their own.
