2.0 out of 5 stars Vacuum not powerful enough to suck up most bugs, October 17, 2005

There may be other bug vacuums more powerful than the "Bug Wand." I can't recommend this particular product because it doesn't perform as advertised. We tried it out on Asian beetles (the ones that look like lady bugs but bite people), spiders, a house fly, and a few gnats (no-see-ums). It worked for the gnats, but we had to knock the rest of the bugs into the tube because they clung to the wall, ceiling, or web and refused to be sucked in.

I don't think I'd go after a bee or wasp with the Bug Wand, as I wouldn't want them to lose their temper while I was trying to knock them into a 1.5 inch diameter, two-foot long tube.

The directions on the Bug Wand box end with, "So the next time you discover creepy crawlers in your home, just wave a (Bug) Wand and make them disappear!"

Yeah, right.

This doesn't seem like it would do much with it's wimpy vacuum, but it's very effective on the crawling sort of bug because they don't see the tube. Put it facing them head-on if possible, turn it on and you'll likely catch the spider or silverfish, etc. Even some less jumpy crickets. Haven't tried it with flies, doesn't seem likely to work. What I especially like is that captured insects aren't hurt and can be released outside unlike with the much more expensive similar bug vacs.
