The PLAY Bug Vacuum is a fun and eco-friendly way to catch bugs, but it wasn’t as powerful as I hoped. Maybe I was trying to catch bugs that were too big, but it struggled a bit. Still, it’s a great toy for younger kids and works well for smaller critters.

This little bug vacuum works great! Living in a historic home, we have lots of little ladybug visitors during certain parts of the year. This little vacuum sucks them up safely so that we can release them back outside. It works on stink bugs and flies as well. To be frank, I never really expected it to work on flies, but if they are cornered in a window or lamp shade, it works great. While the suction power of the vacuum is not comparable to a regular vacuum cleaner, the design of the tip allows you to close down around the bug—and up it goes! The small size of the vacuum makes it very convenient to tuck inside a drawer and pull it out when needed.

First off, I have to point out a very important detail about this bug vacuum...before using this on an actual bug, I tested the suction against my hand, expecting a vacuum-like suction against my skin, but I felt very little suction, so I didn't have high hopes, and to be honest, I almost chalked it up as a loss and returned it. I'm so glad I didn't because after seeing a stink bug climbing on the wall, I put this up to the bug, pulled the trigger, and the bug was IMMEDIATELY pulled into the jar like magic! I was shocked that it actually worked and worked well! The bug wasn't harmed, and I was able to quickly close the top of the jar to trap it in. I've since caught numerous stink bugs, and each time it's like one second, they're at the opening, and the next second, they're in the jar. It's pretty cool. I'm still confused about how it works so well since it feels like there's little to no suction against my hand. So, don't let that fool you. It works! 100%! And as an added plus, it doesn't cause the bugs to release their nasty smell like they have when I've used my dyson. Highly recommend.

This bug vacuum catcher has been great so far the past 2 months. I got this for myself and my gf as we encounter many moths or spiders around the house. I personally don't like spiders but this toy ended up doing the trick taking them on and seeing them up close in the container. So honestly it has helped my phobia more and more. I'd say the vacuum power is moderate. I use the high power setting only as some bugs can be stubborn to vacuum up. I recommend high setting, place barrel of the product right over the subject and gently move the bug around to unhinge them.I 100% recommend this for a kid that is interested in bugs and wishes to examine them without hurting them. A great product to catch and release. The container is easy to use. Simply snap and pop back on when you wish to use it again. The overall design is smart and well made.

Not so good for fruit flies, they don’t stay down in the closed chamber because there is a space around the “lid” of the inside of the removable cup. Otherwise it’s kind of weak but it does catch mosquitoes if you approach them slowly and they don’t decide to fly.

This may be a kids' toy, but in the fall when pumpkin beetles and stink bugs storm our house, this thing is invaluable!No, the suction isn't great, but it has never failed to catch a beetle or a stink bug.The best part is the manually operated trap door, which is located on the removable jar.Once I suck a bug into the gun, I open the trap door, and bump the bottom of the jar with my palm until the bug drops in, then closevthe door.Because the bugs can't get out, you don't have to rush to empty it.My wife once caught no less than 50 pumpkin beetles in an afternoon, she left them for me to perform the burial at sea (flush tem down the toilet).We obviously had an opening somewhere in the house because we've had to remove hundreds of beetles a week.The point is, this thing is awesome.You'll probably never catch a fly with it. But, it does great for slow moving bugs whose bodies are dime size or smaller (not including legs).For flies, get a Bug-A-Salt gun!
