    Great tip.
    I live on a 3 acre corner lot on a hill. My neighbors have seen me do some strange things, but they will surely think I have OCD if I start vacuuming my garden. 😂

  9. Terry j Brown

    I never thought of this! I don't have too many problems with bugs, just some aphids and ants from time to time.

    Great tip!👍 Odd thing is I just was visiting extended family over the weekend and my uncle was using a hand vacuum for his milkweed plants and sucking up milkweed bugs.😂
    What I am wondering is there a solar powered hand vaccuum? Thanks for the tip🙏

    I have a 30 gal fish tank on my porch that we got at a yard sale. It gets a little bit of sun in the morning but than is shaded for the rest of the day. My kids made it into a toad habit and right now there are 3 toads and a skink lizard living in it, all caught in our backyard. My kids catch all the bugs, slugs, crickets they can find and feed them to the toads and lizard. After a month, my kids let them go and catch new, smaller toads and start over. ❤

    Been doing this for years and always telling people in my garden groups. My # 1 defense. I attach a slurpee straw at the end with tape. It's still wide enough to get a squash bug; not sure about the vine borer though.

    Awesome idea
    But i don't know how to differentiate which bug is bad and which one is good. I know nothing about bugs

  23. David Ward

    I have been doing this for 2 years. I get ants and so many other flys and then just leave the vacuum outside to allow the heat build up and kill all the bugs.

    I have not 1, but 3 of these type vacuums (mine are Black & Decker). I don't have a big problem w/ bugs in my garden but in the house, oh my! And this is exactly what I use these vauums for— ants, dead flies (by the millions!), spiders, bees, even yellowjackets. Once inside, they can't get out due to a handy little trapdoor, & eventually suffocate & end uip in the trash. Never thought about using them outdoors! Genius!
