A vacuum machine has a flat deck, a first side wall extending downward from a first side edge and a second side wall extending downward from the second side edge, an opening through the deck with a length and width less than the length of the opening in the direction of the length of the deck, a first plenum affixed to an upper surface of the deck, a fan assembly joined to the plenum, the fan assembly having a first internal fan driven by a motor with fan blades adapted to be manually adjusted individually in attitude, perforated panels in a second plenum having openings of a size and geometry to destroy insects drawn through the openings; and a translatable substantially flat panel joined by fasteners through slots in the translatable panel to an underside of the deck proximate the opening through the deck.

A base assembly has an upward plate, a downward plate, a side wall, a front, a back, and laterally spaced sides. A drive assembly has drive wheels which extend downwardly from the downward plate and has a caster wheel. The drive assembly also has proximity sensors. A vacuum assembly has a vacuum slit formed in the downward plate between the laterally spaced sides. A source of vacuum pulls a vacuum through the vacuum slit. A tower assembly attracts and kills insects while the base assembly and tower assembly are driven by the drive assembly and the vacuum assembly vacuums up insects.

A bug-removal vacuum machine has a horizontal deck, and a structure providing a trapezoidal-shaped air passage directing insects drawn by vacuum-induced air flow through an electrified killing matrix, and into a collection tray

An insect blowing and suction system including at least two tangential blowers, each creating an air stream at a suitable angle relative to the ground but in opposite directions to each other. The two air streams combine and are diverted upward, thereby lifting insects upward. The upward air velocity is increased by at least one upper axial blower that sucks the air from the housing.
