The sucking power is great and the bugs are released structurally unharmed (I can't speak to the emotional trauma of being sucked into a tube). I've captured bees, spiders etc. and let them go unharmed. I've had the minimal-sucking, battery powered bug vacumns previously and this gadget is head and shoulders above them and I don't worry about whether the 9-volt battery has kept its charge (since the last time I caught something)since it doesn't use batteries. 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Worth Its Weight in Gold. By W. Phillips This is the most useful product I've ever purchased. I use it probably 10-15 times a day, because we live in the woods where there are a lot of bugs. You can even catch flies with it with a little practice, but I use it mostly for ladybugs and stinkbugs. It's very satisfying to use as well, and keeps bug stains off your walls. If you're a humane bug enthusiast, you can even set them free outside! :) 37 of 41 people found the following review helpful. If the bug is large enough to frighten you, the Bugzooka won't work! By Follow the Sun I've pretty much said all there is to say in my title. I don't mind catching tiny bugs in a tissue or under a glass. However, I'm afraid to get close to larger bugs, such as the roaches/palmetto bugs that are so common in my area of Texas, as well as larger stinging bugs like wasps. Based on the reviews I read, I thought the Bugzooka would be a great way to remove these bugs from my house without killing them. Wrong. I've tried to Bugzooka repeatedly on a large variety of bugs. If it's a teensy bug that weighs no more than a piece of fluff, the Bugzooka sucks it right up. I have successfully caught bees with the Bugzooka. Wasps? I finally caught one after twenty minutes of trying--once the wasp grew weak from trying to escape--before that, the suction simply was not strong enough to pull it in. If I wanted to battle the wasp into submission before catching it, I could have used a fly swatter. The main reason I bought the Bugzooka is for the palmetto bugs that routinely find their way into our house. Was the Bugzooka the savior I had hoped for? Absolutely not. If I try it on a live one, the bug is simply frightened by the pathetic puff of air and runs away. I can't even use the Bugzooka to pick up an injured palmetto bug that can not physically escape--even if I put the tube right up to it, the suction simply is not strong enough to pick the bug up. I wish I could give the Bugzooka more than one star, but at the end of the day, a glass is cheaper--and you'll probably end up using one, anyway. See all 90 customer reviews...
