There are a number of "Bug Vacs" out there that will
vacuum up an insect/pest and store them in a little clear
container, from where you can humanely empty them
outside, or into a toilet, or whatever. But what if you
have vacuumed up something so unpleasant that it simply
does not deserve to
live any longer?
That's where the Destroy-O-Vac comes in. It has a
rotating disc of razor-sharp blades that the disgusting
thing you just sucked up is propelled directly into,
macerating it instantly into its component molecules and
proteins. The resulting bugdust is collected in a receiving
chamber, where it can be dumped into a trashcan or
toilet at the user's convenience, with ZERO chance that
anything alive will climb back out of the the disposal
receptacle.

Check the collector can for metallic debris, many cats are microchipped. |

Can it have an extra wide nozzle to accommodate the impelling of [8th of 7th]? |

That would be the Salvador Dali version, obviously. |

So you had a fight with your mother, again ? |

At least your putting the anger to good use. |

I'm thinking of building a prototype of this concept. We have
what seems like zillions of box elder bugs around (and in)
our house; vacuuming them up with a standard hand-vac is
pretty useless, since all I end up with is a hand-vac tightly
packed with live box elder bugs. I'd rather make a small
dent in their population with my Destroy-O-Vac prototype. |

You might want to reconsider. Boxelder bugs apparently release a foul smell when disturbed. I'm not sure how you tell if a boxelder bug is disturbed, but dicing it is unlikely to help matters. |

A bit like a high-speed version of the [link]? |

I could include a number of different scent cartridges
with the Destroy-O-Vac that the user could change,
depending on what type of insect/bug/deserving
invertebrate was being...er, collected. Since box elder
bugs do have a bit of a shine to them, even when
unground, probably a heavy-duty scent similar to those
used in Greyhound Bus restrooms would help mask some
of the bugstink in special cases. That stuff can cover up
the odor of death itself. |
|

Otherwise, a number of pleasing scents and their names
suggest themselves, like "Insect Sunset", "SpiderNoMore
Sachet", "Whatever It Was, It's Gone Potpourri",
"Beetledust", and others. |
