F.A.Q.
What is The BugBottler™?
The BugBottler™ is a groundbreaking insect-containment tool. It’s designed to prevent smelly pests like multi-colored Asian lady beetles and box elder bugs from contaminating homeowners’ vacuum cleaners. According to a study from Ohio University, approximately 15% of people experience allergic reactions to the toxins emitted by Multi-Colored Asian Lady Beetles. The BugBottler’s™ unique diversionary filtration system deflects them into a disposable plastic bottle and contains their offensive odor.
The BugBottler™ is also a great tool for getting rid of spiders, ants, and other household pests. Many bugs can escape from regular vacuum cleaners once they’ve been drawn into the bag. By using The BugBottler™, homeowners can be confident that the insects they vacuum will never bother them again.
How does the BugBottler™ work?
By attaching to any standard vacuum cleaner nozzle, The BugBottler™ diverts pests into disposable plastic beverage bottles.
What is the orange slider on the top?
The “suction control” lets homeowners adjust the secondary vacuum chamber generated within the plastic beverage bottle.
How do I clean the BugBottler™?
Pull apart the upper and lower halves of The BugBottler™, remove the screen, and rinse with warm water.
Will the BugBottler™ work with my vacuum cleaner?
With its tapered end, The BugBottler™ attaches to any standard vacuum cleaner. Just slide it over the nozzle or extension wand like a regular crevice tool.
How can smelly insects damage my vacuum cleaner?
Some insects have defense mechanisms that repel potential predators. For example, Multi-Colored Asian Lady Beetles spray blood from their leg joints. When sucked into a normal vacuum cleaner bag, the beetles are not killed but become agitated. As a result, their foul odor fills up the bag and is then pushed through the vacuum cleaner’s exhaust vents. Not only is the beetles’ stench expelled back into the air, but it also clings to the vacuum cleaner itself. This can cause the vacuum cleaner to smell even when no beetles are being drawn in.
How can The BugBottler™ save me money?
Vacuum cleaner bags are expensive, to say nothing of vacuum cleaners themselves. Sources recommend throwing out bags that contain beetles and other insects, even if they are only half-full. This can be a costly measure. Instead, by making use of empty plastic beverage bottles, homeowners can clean up bugs and save on bags.
In addition, to cope with multi-colored Asian lady beetle infestations, many homeowners have resorted to buying two vacuum cleaners—one for use in regular cleaning, and one for use on multi-colored Asian lady beetles. Doing so, however, still causes frustration, since the bugs’ bad smell continues to contaminate the outside air.
If smelly bugs are not a problem for me, why should I buy The BugBottler™?
Ever feel like the bugs you’re sucking up, are bugs you’ve seen before? At times, that can literally be the case. Many household insects have tough exoskeletons, which shield them as they’re sucked into the bag. After putting the vacuum cleaner away, beetles, ants, and even some spiders can crawl back out and re-infest your home.
Should I use The BugBottler™ to vacuum stinging insects?
Absolutely not. Getting rid of wasps, bees, and other dangerous pests should be handled by professionals only.
Are there any other uses for The BugBottler™?
Ever spill a bunch of beads, and sigh because you have to collect them all by hand? The BugBottler™ is great for cleaning up many of life’s little spills. It can also be useful for sorting a variety of small items.
