Review: Hours of fun! - My son absolutely LOVES this toy. I have even started ordering them as gifts for kids in his age range of 4/5. It works perfectly! The motor doesnt have crazy suction but it is definitely enough for little bugs like ants. Keeps my kiddo happy for sure!
Review: Broke very quickly - It worked really well.... for a little bit. Used it to catch spotted lantern flies, very easy to use and worked great. Even came with batteries! But after only using it for maybe ten minutes- not steadily either- over a few days, it quit working. Changed batteries, didn't matter. The green light was on so it had power, it just stopped working. No damage, was not used by children, kept dry, nothing had happened to it. So while it was great when it worked, it definitely didn't last long enough to be worth the money. I will absolutely get another one but I'll try a different brand. I didn't get the closed box version so maybe it had been mistreated before I received it, idk. Shipped quickly though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this big enough to catch a cicada?**
A: I think it would be a little tight to catch a cicada without risking harming the cicada. It is a very cool toy, though, and my kids really are enjoying it. So are all our little and not so little friends who come to play at our house. Hope this helps.

**Q: Does the light scare the bug away?**
A: Not from my experience.  I've loved this product because I'm scared of bugs.  My grandson loves this product because he examines the bugs after catching them and then lets them go outdoors.  The light doesn't seem to have any affect on the bug at all.

**Q: Does this help catch and release spiders form the house?**
A: Catching them is easy. Releasing isn’t as easy. You open the hatch and kinda smack it out. I wish it had a way to reverse the fan and blow them out.

**Q: Is it waterproof?**
A: The Bug Vacuum is fine to be used out in the rain. You would want to avoid full submersion so that water is not getting into the area with the motor or on the handle of the gun where the batteries are.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps keep squash bugs under control!
*by A***9 on July 24, 2020*

I know this is a child's toy, but I wasn't willing to shell out the big bucks to buy a more professional model. I did a lot of research before picking this model, and this bug catcher worked well to drastically curb the population of squash bugs that were going gangbusters on my pumpkins. It works best on the smallest bugs. If you are trying to catch a bigger bug, you have to scoop the bug into the opening (break its hold on whatever it's grabbing onto). Remember to leave the magnifying glass portion open when you're sucking up the bugs, and close it afterwards or they'll crawl right back out. Even though the suction isn't necessarily strong enough to pick up a full-grown squash bug (similar to a stink bug/box elder bug), scooping them into the barrel and then tapping them into the collection section works well enough. I have NOT tried it on house spiders, so can't attest to its efficacy there. I really like how you can disassemble the barrel to clean and easily dump the bugs out - the "barrel" detaches from the chamber that holds the bugs, and the chamber detaches from the handle. Afterwards, it's pretty easy to dump the bugs into some soapy water, even if the magnifying glass gets in the way a bit. I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone that is fighting squash bugs. (Make sure to also remove their eggs from leaves and seal in a ziploc baggie!) After a few days using this gun, I'm down to finding maybe 5 squash bugs a day, tops.
