A vacuum that sucks it for insects

Juniper Foo | Feb 12, 2008

Whatever happened to the good old days of fly swatters or even yesterday's rolled-up newspaper? The Japanese, of course, are masters of chindogu or unuseless inventions. So suck it up for this insect vacuum. We're just not such how effective a sucker this 2,839 yen (US$24.50) gizmo is since it relies on pneumatics (read: Compressed air). Not to mention there aren't any clear instructions on what to do with the poor bug once it's trapped inside the tube. The more important question is whether this weapon of mass destruction will do the trick with those nastily huge Asian flying cockroaches. We've seen grown men reduced to screaming like little girls when encountering these winged spawn of Satan. Die, sucker, die.
