Pest Control Reviews

The best bird spike available, no junk plastic in this spike, only quality stainless steel. the plastic ones break

I was so jazzed from the positive reviews of this thing that I ordered two of them: one for me, one for a friend who has worse spider problems than me. We are sorely disappointed! I cannot possibly believe that this thing has "10 times the suction" of battery-powered units. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have big and small spiders...but the smaller ones are often quite heavy. I can suck up a mid-sized Daddy Longlegs with no trouble, but if it's anything heavier, I usually have to put the nozzle right up against the spider to grab it...and sometimes I have to try 2 or 3 times before it works. The suction just isn't enough for anything but small or lightweight bugs. (If the spider is in a web, it's much easier to grab...but if it's clining to the wall, forget it.) A large hobo spider would laugh in the face of this thing, and don't even try it on a large black widow. I can't complain about the company selling it, as their shipping was prompt and all went fine with that, even though I am contemplating returning the Bugzookas. But I think the usefulness of this item is a bit misrepresented...they should state somewhere that the suction is NOT strong enough for larger, heavier insects and spiders. (If they did state this and I missed it, then it's egg on my face. :)

The BugZooka works great. Crickets, spiders, and bugs in the house are no problem - just catch and release outside. The kids love it. Gaiam shipped it promptly, emailed tracking info, and even sent a nice "green" catalog.

High-rise apartment buildings in NYC: Roaches are everywhere, and the Bugzooka sucks them up even faster than they can run. After you fill the canister, you can easily deposit the roaches into their new home; the toilet bowl.

Homes in the country: Spiders are everywhere, indoors and outdoors. I should have a holster for this because I carry it all over, and any spider I see is easily captured within a few seconds, without any mess. And if I see two, three, six, whatever, they are all sucked into their little cage match where they fight until they are released into their new home; the toilet bowl.

My Bugzooka has been the most used and useful products in years, it completely fills a void in any household.

I am surprised that Amazon permits the sale of this equipment. Many scientific evaluations have shown that the sound generators have no effects what so ever against rodents-or for that matter against mosquitoes.

I bought this, because we'd started having a real mouse problem in our home. I plugged it in, and I waited for the recommended 6 to 9 days. After 3 weeks, we set mouse traps in front of it and were catching mice daily. This didn't deter them at all.

I actually came into the kitchen one evening to turn off a light that had been left on and saw a mouse sitting in front of the unit eating some crumb my daughter had dropped.

The unit may have been defective (no way of checking), but I wouldn't have another one.

I placed this thing in my small bedroom, and it's not even 200 sq. ft. and guess what, I always see roaches coming out from my AC duct, and even clawing over my bed, and many times too. It freaks me out! I don't believe any of this thing anymore! Roaches are so hard to get rid of! I hate it!
