Nature Bound Bug Catcher Toy | Eco-Friendly Bug Vacuum, Catch and Release | Ages 3 to 12 Indoor/Outdoor Play Toy | Includes Capture Core with Magnification | Complete Kit for Kids | Green

Works very well although the vacuum could be a bit stronger. Highly recommended.

Now, I'm an adult and I got this for me, lol. Because I keep seeing regular cordless handheld vacuums that they will try and call a "Bug Vacuum." But they are really just regular handheld vacuums!! For real! They don't even TRY and make them any different either. I mean heck, I wish I had the funds to manufacture a REAL bona fide bug vacuum, because there still really isn't one... Well, there's the "BugZooka," lol. But that technically isn't really a vacuum. The truth is, this here Nature Bound Bug Catching Toy is one of the only actual bug vacuums that DO exist. The only other one that I saw was another kid's bug catcher vacuum, except it was in the shape of an anteater I believe.Anyway, TO ME, what makes this a bona fide bug catcher vacuum is the suction tube. Because it has an actual chamber for the bugs, AND you can close it off by turning the magnifying glass piece. And so, I decided to get this bug vacuum JUST for that piece. Well, I'm not going to delve into what I've done with it, but I will say that it has held up well so far for what I've been using it for, lol.And by the way, the vacuum part of this bug catcher vacuum takes 4 AA batteries that are not included. However, once you have put the batteries in and you've turned the vacuum on to try it out, you might find that it's not really sucking at all. Well, I initially had this problem, but I eventually figured out what was wrong. You know the little magnifying glass piece on the vacuum tube that you turn to trap the bugs in there? The reason there was almost no power behind the suction was because it was closed... 😄😆🤣 Hey, it happens to the best of us, lol. But anyway, while this bug catcher vacuum doesn't have the greatest suction, it DOES have some.

Got this because we tend to get stink bugs and ladybugs in our house and this would be an easier way to get rid of them. Plus my daughter can help. She's gotten a kick out of this. No ladybugs yet, just three stink bugs. The suction isn't strong, but it's enough to pull the bug in as long as put the tip up close to it. In all three cases, the bug got caught in the inner door of the vacuum and never got inside the middle, but that was enough to give me time to get rid of it outside. This is good enough to get rid of a bug easier than using paper cups or a piece of paper and it doesn't smash them.

We love this bug catcher. My family loves all creatures, big and small. And because of this we don't kill bugs or spiders that get in our house. I bought this so we could use it as an easy way to get any of those little creatures out of our house and let them go into the wild unharmed. It works like a charm and I purchased three more and gave them to friends and family for the same reason. I only wish that everyone had one of these in their home so all little creatures could live their lives.

There’s an issue with the way this toy is made. I ordered 3 of these guns and they’ve all had the same issue. The compartment that holds the batteries doesn’t close tight enough so the toy doesn’t work. Cute concept - try another brand.

I was able to pick up a couple of mid-sized crickets with this, but you pretty much have to get right on top of them. The suction is VERY weak.It does work, but not nearly as well as it might have with a slightly stronger motor. Some insects will laugh at the weak suction and you'll need to slide the nozzle to break their grip. This is a nice idea for a product, but the execution is very cheap. 20-30% more suction would do the trick. The built in light is pretty much useless.When I first tried it, the suction was so weak I thought it was broken! Again, it can work, but don't expect too much.

Love the bug gun. A great way to get rid of my spiders in a humane way.

This works surprisingly well to catch flies in the house. I got it as a gag gift but I now love it!
