The BugCatcher™ Vac
Lightweight, cordless vac sucks up live bugs from a safe distance away, depositing them into a disposable cartridge. (Won't leave "remains" on wall or flooring!) No mess disposable cartridge (one included) is lined with a nontoxic sticky gel to prevent escapes; your hands don't touch the bugs. NiCad battery pack recharges while stored (AC charger included). Telescoping tube (up to 24" total reach) and large nozzle help you reach those bugs in hard to get at places. On/off switch.
Electronic Vac N Zap™ Insect Killer
Mosquitoes and other flying insects can naturally sense structure in front of them, so as they get closer to conventional bug zappers, they try to escape, and most of them do. But there's no escaping Vac N Zap™! As bugs are attracted to the UV illuminated translucent globe, the vacuum fan sucks them in before they can escape — 50% stronger than others on the market! They're quickly and quietly drawn through the electrocution grid, chopped by the fan below, and discharged out the bottom. No zapping noises. 50 watt circular black light is effective over an acre. Rugged, 14"x17" high polycarbonate housing. UL listed.
Bug Repellant Wristbands
Plastic coil wristband uses a DEET free, citronella vapor release system to chase bugs away before they land...sure beats coating yourself in toxic lotions or sprays. As your arm moves, air flow causes the release of the pleasant smelling vapors that repel mosquitoes and other biting insects. Nothing's absorbed into your skin, so there's nothing to wash off. Lasts 180 hours out of its package; seal it in an airtight bag between uses to maintain effectiveness. Use on ankle, too.
