Bug vacuum sucks bloodsuckers
If you've ever patrolled our message boards, you might know I have a problem with bugs.
I don't like them. They don't like me. And my father doesn't like that I still call him to get rid of them.
Enter the Keep Your Distance Bug Vacuum from Hammacher Schlemmer.
The 22,400 rpm, battery-operated motor sucks up the pests from up to 2 feet away and directs them toward an electrical grid in the tube, where they get zapped.
Okay, so it's basically a glorified fly swatter.
But if it's going to keep a creepy crawly from falling on me and scuttling along my body (yes, that happened and I still shudder to think about it), I think it's worth the $50 price tag.
Especially since spring is around the corner, which means my home will once again be invaded by mosquitoes, spiders and others I'd rather not get close enough to name.
