An apparatus for catching bugs is provided which includes a catch box having an interior region and an elongated handle attached to the catch box. The elongated handle includes a flexible tube member and a flexible rod member disposed within the flexible tube member. The apparatus includes a trap adapted to move back and forth within the interior region of the catch box. The flexible tube member is attached to the catch box and the flexible rod member is attached to the trap. The flexible rod member is adapted to provide back and forth movement of the trap within the interior region of the catch box to thereby define a closed chamber in the interior of the box for trapping bugs.

An insect trapping device traps, kills and facilitates disposal of an insect. The device includes a handle which is hollow defining a conduit extending between a first end and a second end. A fan coupled to the handle in the conduit such that the fan provides suction into the first end of the handle. A cup is coupled to the first end of the handle for directing an insect into the first end of the handle. A receptacle is coupled to the second end of the handle and vented end such that the fan urges air flow out through the receptacle wherein the receptacle receives and holds the insect sucked through the first end of the handle.

A weed or insect terminating device features a container having a valve port, a heating element, a valve core, and a biasing mechanism forcing the valve core into an extended position. An axial passage in the valve core extends through only a distal end of the valve core. A lateral passage intersects the axial passage and opens radially from the valve core. A proximal seal is provided between the valve core and valve port at a location between a proximal end of the valve core and the opening of the lateral passage. The proximal seal withdraws from sealed contact with the port in a retracted state of the valve core, while a distal seal remains intact. Heated water from the container can be dispensed through the valve port only via the lateral and axial passages of the valve core, and only when made accessible by retraction of the valve core.

This invention allows safe and easy capture, secure containment, visual examination and release or other disposition of small invertebrate specimens. It interfaces with a vacuum cleaner or other source of negative air pressure and is comprised of three main parts or segments: A collection segment used in capturing and containing insect specimens and the like, an attachment segment used in attaching the apparatus to a vacuum cleaner or similar suctioning device, and an intermediate screen segment used to attach these two segments and keep the specimens from being sucked into the suctioning device.

The flying insect vacuum device removes annoying insects, and particularly flying insects such as flies, from inside or outside of the home or anywhere else they might show up. The flying insect vacuum device is a portable handheld unit with a handle, battery, and eject battery button on the backside of the device. The power button turns the vacuum motor on and off. On the front of the invention is a large grill over a funnel that sucks the flies into a storage compartment in the center of the device. The device has strong vacuum suction, an adjustable front suction tool, an insect trapping compartment, and a quick release on and off button.

The present disclosure relates to a flow guiding structure and a mite remover. A housing of the mite remover has a first cavity for accommodating an airflow generating unit and a second cavity for accommodating a heat source. The flow guiding structure includes a cold-air pipeline assembly communicated with an air output side of the airflow generating unit to send a part of an airflow into the second cavity, and a hot-air pipeline at least partially arranged in the second cavity to receive a heating element of the mite remover. The housing has a first air output side for discharging the airflow sent into the second cavity, and a second air output side connected with the hot-air pipeline. The hot-air pipeline is communicated with the air output side of the airflow generating unit for discharging another part of the airflow out of the housing through the second air output side.

An insect vacuum device includes a housing having an inlet end opposite a rear end. A grip portion extends from a lower side of the housing. A barrel is affixed to the inlet end, wherein the barrel is in fluid communication with an interior volume of the housing. A reservoir is removably securable to the lower side between the grip portion and the inlet end. A motor is within the housing at the rear end, wherein the motor generates suction between the inlet end and the reservoir when the motor is activated. A trigger is disposed on the lower side, wherein the trigger activates the motor when the trigger is actuated. An inlet valve and a motor valve are disposed within the housing and move to an open position while the trigger is actuated.

Disclosed is a wasp catcher configured to aid a user in removing wasps and their nests from a given area. The wasp catcher has three main components, a telescoping handle, a trigger-activated insecticide, and a flexible containment chamber. The wasp catcher's design allows the user to contain the nest, including the associated wasps, and then release a concentrated dose of insecticide from a disposable capsule directly onto the nest from a safe distance. A trigger located on the handle allows the insecticide capsule to be activated. A pressurized canister, similar to a CO2 canister, can be utilized in which the pressurized contents are released when the canister is punctured. The containment chamber would be made of a flexible material, like silicone or rubber, which will have some transparency to allow the user to sight the nest through the containment chamber.

This Hand-Held Insect Eliminator is a device comprising two flaps of optimal size and shape, which are connected at one end by a hinge. Intelligently designed integrated finger housings at the hinged end allow the device to be easily opened and snapped shut by a wide variety of hand and finger sizes. The device can be used on many types of insects, whether flying, hanging, crawling, or at rest. It can be operated in mid-air, against a wall, ceiling, or directly against a surface, or just above a surface, depending on the type and location of the insect. The device incorporates a unique containment grid which allows the elimination to be done cleanly.
