A device integrating light and suction to eliminate flying insects named BUG- VAC LIGHT. The invention is an electrical lamp integrating suction within the unit's body. The light and heat generated by the lamp attract bugs while the suction aspirates them, trapping and killing flying insects. The device uses a weatherproof motor with patented Seabreeze Turbo-Aire fan to generate suction by the aerodynamics created in the Bug--Vac chamber. A butterfly trap at the bottom of the chamber opens from the air flow when the device is on, thereby aspirating the insects into the receptacle where the bugs remain trapped because of the constant flow of air. The insects die from battering caused by the tornado effect produced by the wind tunnel in the receptacle, which propels the insects, upon entry, against the receptacle walls. Moreover, the strong air current in the receptacle prevents air intake by the insects, which then expire through asphyxiation; the constant air flow and heat from the light helps to dehydrate the trapped insects. The light attracts insects from far thereby contributing a large trapping circumference, while the heat generated by the light invites the insects to hover near it where suction then draws the insects into the receptacle. The air current generated by the Turbo-Aire fan causes suction to project beyond the receptacle creating an invisible air tunnel outside of the receptacle in order to catch insects in flight. Once caught in the air current, insects are aspirated into the receptacle. Both the attractant and the trap are mechanical in nature, requiring no chemicals or repellents that may be toxic to humans and animals. The device is designed to eliminate insects rather than to simply repel them, so as to prevent nesting and breeding of insects, and thereby curbing dissemination of diseases associated with flying insects. The device is entirely ecological in its construction, functioning and usage. The housing is a combination of a polymer and aluminium to create a weatherproof unit that can be used outdoors as well as indoors. The device is power operated, requiring clean electrical energy only to function. The receptacle is so designed as to provide easy- cleaning and the opportunity to collect the dead insects and use them to feed birds, reptiles or fish to fully exploit the ecological concept.
