Rechargeable Insect Vacuum

July 16th, 2006 by Liam in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Well this is a new high-tech twist on getting rid of insects. The Rechargeable Insect Vacuum sucks in the insect you point it at, and kills it in the chamber.

In comparison to other alternatives, the Rechargeable Insect Vacuum is quite environmentally friendly, and is also very clean and sanitary, leaving no nasty splats to clean up. Unlike regular vacuums, this has a unique one-way trap door on the nozzle so that your bugs can’t escape.

Not only does it suck up the bug for you, however, it also kills it. Once inside the main chamber, a quick jolt of electricity is shot through the bug to kill it instantly and painlessly. The voltage is very safe and is just high enough to kill the bugs so it’s hardly dangerous to humans.

It also features a special rubber nozzle which allows you to suck up bugs no matter where they are. I know the most annoying place to try and kill bugs is when they get into corners but the special nozzle does it with ease. The nozzle is also extend-able so you don’t have to climb up on tables or chairs to get those pesky bugs.

The vacuum is recharged via a 9V adapter and features an LED battery level indicator. For safety the electric zapping grid is disabled when the vacuum is opened to dispose of insects. Also you don’t have to worry about touching the bugs while you’re emptying the vacuum because they fall right out into the garbage.

The Rechargeable Insect Vacuum is available for $59.95 from Magent.com.

It’s almost the same with the I posted on my blog a while ago. The above bug vacuum kills trapped insects but not with the bug vacuum I posted. And it’s cheaper, for $24.95 (now only $14.95)

Insect Vacuum

Coolest Gadgets has spotted the oddest way to get rid of your favorite wing-ed pests. The Insect Vauum looks similar to one of those toilet cleaner wands with a disposable tip. But, it’s a mini vacuum that sucks up whatever

[…] Si hay algo que odio es tener que andar con repelentes de insectos, aunque parece que esto quedará en el pasado , ya que The Rechargeable Insect Vacuum absorve a los bichos en cualquier posición ( evitando con esto estar corriendo en las esquinas o esperar a que deje de moverse) y después los mata. Este equipo no produce ningún tipo de contaminación y tampoco deja rastros de la evidencia del crimen, ya que prácticamente los electrocuta, pero no te preocupes… mueren sin dolor y lo mejor: el voltaje no afecta a los humanos. Y lo mejor es que no tienes que agarrarlos para tirarlos a la basura (sólo pensar en cucarachas y arañas me da escalofrío!). […]

[…] Here’s a fun invention: the Rechargeable Insect Vacuum. You can take it anywhere and zap insects with it. Okay, that sounds too much like bug spray. But this one works a lot better. Sure it’s an electronic gadget, but you won’t need to stash it with batteries because, as said above, it’s rechargeable. And killing insects would no longer require any chemicals harmful to both insect and human, so this seems environmentally sound enough. I want one of these! […]
