Works great!
May 28, 2024  |  By Celeste Headlee
We've bought several different bug grabbers over the years and this is one of the best. You do have to get kind of close to the bug, which is the only drawback if it's a flying pest, but it's very effective. I bought two.

Needed replacement parts
Oct 2, 2023  |  By Margit Crowell
I already owned the BugZooka was needed replacement parts. Was so happy to find that Arbico carried them, one of the very few places that does, apparently. Prices were reasonable, shipping was super-fast, great follow-up service! Thank you.

Sufficient

The tube isn't a perfect fit and needs a ton of pressure just to get it on the telescoped tube sufficiently. Even though I can't get to slide on flush it's so tight it's not moving. Suction is great. The flap are silicon and pliable yet seem to work so far. I'm sure it's fine but miss the hard plastic flaps. I have an early model zookah. Maybe these replacements are better for later day versions if they were changed.

It works!

We get some moths, flys, spiders in the house. Worked well. The captured are shocked when in the tube... but are alive when we set them free.

Underwhelming and disappointing

Doesn't work as well as expected. Took many attempts to suck up a bug. Eventually I got it. Maybe I need more practice.

Terrific

This is a great tool in the war against stink bugs! It was delivered quickly and as described by the seller

Good

Cool gadget, but it limited in size, I can't get the huge roaches or waterbugs with. No returns on this Arbico site, but they were still helpful in directing me to manufacture, No Returns is clearly stated on site for this product. If you got small bugs it works like a charm, just gotta sneak up on the house flys though. Great product!

The Bugzooka is AMAZING!

I've had my Bugzooka for several years now. Unfortunately, the end of it was broken. Arbico Organics carries it at a very reasonable price. Now I can get back to trapping the stink bugs that overwhelm us every year.

I love my BugZooka

I have two myself and have given three as gifts. An essential household item, in my opinion.

All Issues Resolved

Some miscommunications on my part led to a delayed response, noted in an earlier review, but eventually the good folks at Arbico's made everything right and I just ordered another unit for friends (have two now, myself). This is something every home should have. Forget poisons or violating the principle of Ahimsa. Just suck up spiders and other unwelcome insects and let them go outside. A fabulous tool!!!

BUGZOOKA SUCCESS

I must be one of the original Bugzooka users - I've seen at least three variations in the model. I have used it for years to capture insects to view under a microscope and show fourth and fifth graders the pictures. We have used it in summer science camp for the kids to catch things. One kid even got one for Christmas based on his enthusiasm. I suggest you list your product in the educational science catalogs for kids - bet you'll sell a few! I also suggest you contact entomological societies and biology teachers at all levels. It works great!

Still Waiting for Replacement of Defective Part
Oct 15, 2020  |  By Art Goodtimes
A wonderful product. I was trying to obtain a second backup (I have two already) but I'm into my third month and repeated emails and phone calls trying to get a defective part replaced on this order through Arbico. Previous orders through Amazon went without a hitch.
Owner Response: Hi Art. Glad the Bugzooka is in your arsenal! I can see you have been working with Customer Service on this issue, so they will follow up with you.

A must have gardening tool!

BUGZOOKA!. You may think this is a toy but it will become your favorite tool to rid your garden of insects that are harmful to your plants. Great design. Works like a vacuum cleaner and it does not need batteries nor electricity. Ingenious! The opening is approx. 1/2" x 1" hinged slot so it does have some limitations. You'll have to catch those grasshoppers in their adolescent stage while they are small. 5 stars rating from me!

STINK BUGS BEWARE !!
Jul 1, 2020  |  By Barbara Ann Henry
I discovered these about 15 years ago and have gone through several (tells you how many stinkbugs are in my area, ugh). This is the best invention ever created to handle pesky critters you don't want to touch. Easy to use and clean and the extra "trap" is a welcome addition. After heavy use over many years they do get a bit tired but are so worth it. I've already turned on about 8 people to this gadget and they loved it as well..

I don't know how I made it without Bugzooka ! No Batteries to content with and it works like a dream. We have so many stink bugs and it is the perfect solution. I have used it for several years now.

Bugzooka is awesome
Aug 16, 2018  |  By Michael M Moran
I have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Love this thing, and have given it to family members for their houses. Spiders and moths are easy to get. The best challenge is sneaking up on houseflies. You move the mouth of the Bugzooka up slowly until you are 1/4" from the fly, so they think it's not a threat, and then suddenly they're wondering, what the heck just happened. Beats making fly smudges on the walls.
