My Favorite Bug Busting Toy: The Bugzooka!

Bug season has officially arrived with the warm weather and the beautiful blossoms.  It's inevitable that pesky insects will invade our homes and our yards.   Never fear, "Bugzooka" is here!  Bugzooka is a device that sucks bugs into it, without the use of batteries or power.  It looks like a bazooka gun which makes it all the more fun for bug busters out there.

I was first introduced to it this past weekend when I saw my sister-in-law wielding it with great zeal against some invading stink bugs in her kitchen.  After I had a turn with it, I was immediately sold.  Fly swatters move over!  Here comes Bugzooka. Check out the product description:

"The battery-free BugZooka generates 10 times the suction power of motorized models to humanely capture insect invaders for outdoor release. Push the bellows to compress some air, extend the telescoping arm up to 24", and push the trigger.  Wasps, spiders, flies and more are whisked inside a removable catch tube for transport outside.  No unpleasant handling or squashing. No poisonous sprays. 38"Long, 2 lbs."

Here's a flaw with the product for your information: watch out for the little trap door on the tip.  It's apparently cheap plastic and will fall off if you get a little too into your bug zapping.
