ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, especially hand-held, battery-powered apparatus, for the collection and disposal of insects through an open end thereof. In one embodiment, which may be in the form of an attachment for a conventional battery-powered vacuum cleaner, the insect is retained on a screen mounted on a carriage which is movable between rear and front positions within a housing. The front position is close to the open end, and after collecting the insect with the carriage in the rear position, the carriage is moved to the front position, where it is brought to an abrupt stop so that the insect is ejected from the apparatus. The ejection of the insect can alternatively or additionally be assisted by reversing the direction of the air flow through the open end.
