Sonic Technology BugBuster BB100 - Battery Operated Spider Catcher and Release Device, Spider Vacuum Catcher for Kids & Adult, Bug Catch and Release Tool for All Insects with Easy Switch- 14" Yellow

I have been searching and buying much fancier bug vacuums that just fall apart after a month or two and on top of that, have no function to prevent them from escaping after you vacuum them. This is a marvelous, simple device. The Plastic casing is sturdy and durable, The clear extension tube is perfectly fine as well, sturdy. And it comes with a cap you can place on the end to prevent, guess what, the bugs escaping after vacuuming them. It has a nice and easy to grip handle, and is very lightweight. And releasing the bugs is much easier than those fancy vacuums I tried, they don't stick to the plastic extension tube, a few taps on it and they come falling out of it. Easy peasy. To address reviews that complain about the suction, it runs on a 9-Volt battery for goodness sake. It's not a high powered vacuum obviously, but it is plenty powerful for suck up a bug, given it's namesake purpose. The video review that is trying to vacuum hair, is equally inane, that's not what it's supposed to do. If you are looking to address a bug problem, this is a great choice. It does not come with 9-Volt Battery, so you probably want to add that to your purchase. I would recommend this simple, sturdy device for bug sucking.

Trash. No suction, battery cover doesn't fit with battery in place, flimsy want to fall apart. Couldn't catch bug 1/8 inch from nozzle.

While away for a couple of years, our house got taken over by spiders, mostly Daddy Long Legs. They come out mostly at night, so, every couple of nights before bed, we turned off the lights and wore a miners headlight which allows one to see them really well, and vacuumed them up and released them outside. It worked like a charm and we eventually evicted all of them. Don't leave the vacuum on while you search for the spiders because it will turn off after a short time, making one think the battery is dead. It's not. It will turn on again. Just turn off between catches.

🤔😮 Works on fruit flues, gnats, & house flies, but is kind of weak in its suction, so you have to get close to the flies. 🪰🪰🪰

I received this item as a gift and when I installed a 9V battery, there was no response . . no suction whatsoever so I returned it and another was sent to me and it too - no suction, no response. I took it to a neighbor who tried to find the reason - and here it is. Even though I installed a 9V battery that had never been used - I had it for too long a time and it no longer registered 9V and this item does not work unless the battery is brand new and actually tests at 9V - not just on a simple battery tester to see if it has any voltage. So I apologize to Amazon and the seller as I just did not realize what the problem was. I purchased a brand new 9V battery and the suction is good enough to suck up a bug and even some crumbs which is a plus. Instructions should be included to be sure the battery truly is 9 volt and not 7 or 8 even.

I purchased this item because I can’t stand getting too close to bugs. The thought of one getting on my skin is enough to cause a slight panic. The Bug Buster keeps the insects at arms length so I don’t have to worry about a bug jumping into my hand. It’s very easy to setup (Just pop in one 9-volt battery) and it’s lightweight. The idea is great but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. It works decently but I thought it would suck harder. The instruction manual states that “bug will be sucked rapidly into the tube”. They must have a different definition of the word, rapidly, because it’s far from it. The suction is very light and I had trouble sucking up a couple earwigs. After multiple attempts, I eventually got them into the tube. Once caught, the bugs were easily released outside and cleanup is very easy. A little dish soap and some hot water on the tube and a disinfectant wipe on the vent area. I wish there was an option to choose the color. The yellow isn’t my favorite. It doesn’t seem to be the most sturdy either. I don’t plan on this happening but it seems like it would break if dropped. So basically I was disappointed in the sucking power. If that could somehow be increased, it would be the perfect bug catcher.

With the summer, and the dogs in and out of the house all day, there's always bugs inside, hoards of gnats fit through the window screens. This bug vac is much easier and less messy than the flyswatter. Not sure how long the battery will last, but I did buy Energizer Max 9v. I use the turbo tip when there's a bunch of bugs I need to catch. The tube cap doesn't fit the turbo tip, but I cover it with my thumb moving from bug to bug. It would have been useful to have a cap to fit the turbo tip. Also a tether between the tube and the cap so I don't drop it or lose it. The black battery cap kept falling off. It just slides into place, so I had to tape it closed. The battery cap should lock into place. To empty it without bugs flying out, I stuck the tip down into a baggie, and tapped the sides until the bugs fell out. Decent, if a bit pricey, especially with the cost of batteries, but worth the ease of use and efficiency. If it lasts. Haven't tried it on larger flies. Hope the suction will be up to the challenge. August 17 update. Killed the motor. It's meant for occasional bugs. Not for summer swarms. Regular flies don't get sucked in.

If I could leave a review with negative numbers this item would be well deserving of that. A complete waste of money, unless you are looking for something to make noise with because you certainly will NOT catch bugs. The only way it would pickup a bug was to scoop it into the tube, not even enough draw to pull a down feather in off of a sheet of paper. Plus the fact that it uses a 9V battery, sucking the life out of the battery very quickly.

This is my second Bugbuster, to have one at both ends of the house, since I live in the country and there are quite a few insects here. I just love that I can remove ants, flies, spiders, etc. without harming them! I saw lots of reviews about poor suction, and I have to admit the suction is so low that you do have to be persistent with insects that can hold on to the floor in a wind. Once they lose their grip, though, they go whipping into the tube. I am sure that the reason for the "poor" suction is that stronger suction would harm the insect. It is definitely strong enough.

Cumple su función de coger los bichitos de la casa para poder tirarlos fuera sin matarlos. Nosotros lo estamos usando mucho para arañitas, escarabajos pequeñitos e insectos así. Funciona perfecto.

cet aspirateur a insecte est parfait ! il s'emmène partout dehors comme dedans. Acheté pour un enfant de 5 ans passionné des petites bêtes, il le manie seul et de façon efficace. Il permet de ne pas blesser les animaux lors de leur capture, de les observer longuement et de pouvoir les relâcher dans la nature sans les abimer. excellent accessoir !

sembra un giocattolo ma è ottimo per la cattura delle cimici in casa. riesce ad intrapolarle senza sporcarsi le mani

Fonctionne bien avec Panasonic 9V Batterie. J'ai essayer deux autre sortes avant et ca ne faisait rien, mais une batterie Panasonic fonctionne.. L'aspiration est bonne avec le bec conique au bout, J'ai attraper trois mini mouches en quelque minutes avec.
