BugZooka WB100 Bug Catcher Vacuum

Very effective and GENTLE on bumble bees . Also fine for butterflies too. Also long reach. But it does need to be within about an inch away from the trapdoors.

I already own one that i purchased well over 15 years ago and bought a second one for my parents. I love mine, use it often, all of us really love it because it is very easy to use and i think it's fun. Very durable and have had no issues with it, i recommend this product 100%!

My family has had a bugzooka for more than 15 years. I bought this when my kids were little because I don't like killing insects and this tool allows me to capture most tiny critters without causing them harm, showing my kids the insects - spiders, moths, grasshoppers, even scorpions before releasing them into my backyard. My kids have grown up with this device and I have gifted it to other friends. It comes with a spare chamber attachment which is helpful. The design is simple and functional compared to other high tech, electronic bug capturing tools. You push the spring to prime and them push the button to activate the suction pump. Point the tip of the bugzooka as close to the insect as possible, like touching it, if possible, and push the button, and bam! you will find the insect trapped in the translucent chamber. Remember this is not a Dyson vacuum on max power suction. It's a simple mechanical device that works well when used properly. My only complaint with this product is that the front chamber is brittle and prone to breaking. Which is why they include a second one, but they need to include a total of 4 or 5 chambers because the acrylic is easy to break or crack and the "trapdoors" at the mouth of the front chamber often lose the spring which kinda kills its utility immediately. You also can't buy just the chamber for a reasonable price, you have to buy a whole new bugzooka! In spite of this complaint, we love the bugzooka and it is a standard fixture in our home. I'm sure my kids will look for it when they have their own homes too. I found a workaround after struggling to find replacement chambers after the first few years I had it. I would attach a small rubber balloon around the mouth of the chamber and cut an X in it, and pull the ballon back so the rubber flap with the X cut in it would sit squarely over the mouth of the chamber. This worked like a charm for almost 10 years. For a long time the bugzooka was not available on Amazon. When I found it again this year, I quickly bought a replacement and gifted my friend a set. They love it as well. If you are looking for a simple functional tool to catch and release bugs and insects in your house, instead of killing them, this tool is for you. It will last a long time and will serve you well.

So easy to use and works perfectly

This tool is a creative use of suction to capture and remove bugs from your home. You don't have to kill them or risk making a mark on the wall. There also is no need for batteries or any maintenance, so the only reason not to deploy them all over your home is their cost (they should offer a reduced price for three).

This is a game changer for me. Around here we have stink bugs. We used to squash them and, naturally, that caused mess and "stink." Or, you gently grabbed it with a tissue (and you could feel it through the tissue - gross), took it outside to let it loose or squash it. Letting it loose was really not an option as, at some point, back inside it would come. Then I bought this. Those nasty looking, smelly things now can be reached with a nice, long pole so I can stay far away from it. No smell. No mess. They simply stay contained in there until they are no longer moving. Or I can dump them into a jar of detergent water to get rid of them quicker. Of course, it works for other bugs too. Houseflies are a challenge, but your skill level improves with each catch and this becomes more of a game and less of a chore. Not sure if I would try it on a massive stinging insect, that would most likely be a job for a more serious weapon like a vacuum. But this is a great addition to any home.
