Cordless Vacuum Turned Into Nifty "Bug Sucker"
MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 31-5-20 "We don't use chemicals on our garden vegetables since we raise honeybees nearby. So, I came up with a solution to get rid of pesky bugs, especially potato bugs. I took a cordless hand vacuum and made a funnel out of a file folder to make a narrow opening at the end and taped it onto the vacuum. It works great to suck bugs right off the leaves," says Jim Bugg, Curran, Mich.
Once the bugs are vacuumed up, Bugg places a cork in the end of the funnel to keep the bugs from escaping. In about three or four days the bugs are dead, and then he empties them out.
"I use it on my half acre garden and also in my house to suck up spiders and lady bugs," says Bugg. "In my opinion, handheld vacuums aren't worth a darn for household use because they don't have enough suction power. However, the file folder funnel narrows the opening down to only 3/4 in. which greatly increases its power."
