Abstract
A dedicated, vacuum operated, electrical capture device has a shaped capture housing having an inner rim carrying conductors for killing or stunning a pest, to cause the pest to release itself from its position on a surface, and a vacuum suction motor assembly to pull the pest through a telescoping section to a final section of tubing which is accessible to facilitate disposal of the pest. A pest collection compartment situated along the air intake tube includes a flexible door for convenient disposal of the collected pests. The pest collection compartment preferably contains a transparent section so that the user can know when the pest has been withdrawn into the device, will know that the pest is dead, and so that the user can dispose of the pest, preferably without touching it.
