How do you clean out the bugs? Where do they collect?

You don't need to clen out bugs, they just don't fly within 10-15 ft from Therma-Cell

This is repellent device so no bugs are killed and need to be cleaned out. I used a thermacell in a recent hunting trip to a mosquito and black fly infested region of Canada and this thing worked amazingly! Just used mine tonight by the pool and wasn't bothered by any Michigan Mosquitos!

There are no bugs collected. Bugs just stay away from you! It really works!

I suggest leaving and doing the whole house.Even if you could be sure that the chemical did not get to the rest of the house it is not a good plan... The insects will simply move to fresh air and then you have the problem in the rest of the house.

This item captures all insects! My family can use the backyard again. I keep it on all the time and empty it every 10 days.

The best way to clean them is vacuuming them with a vacuum. When you can no longer get them somewhat clean it is time for a new one. The cleaner they are the more suction the vacuum will have.

Decaying roaches...they don't wanna check out. Get some chopsticks, pull 'em out and stirfry quickly with chillies and fresh basil till crisp.

That's exactly what I use it for and it's always eliminated them! I live in an apartment and we can go several years without ever seeing one and then suddenly there seems to be an infestation. I spray the diluted Viper all around all surfaces and then leave it for a day or two before cleaning. If you can stay out of the room during that time, it's even better (the fumes are strong and can make you sick if you inhale them a lot). I found that two good sprayings and every bug is gone.

You have to use a comb no matter or you will never get rid of the live bugs... combing is unavoidable. :-(

Keep on windowsill or where it can best receive sunlight. Outdoors in the sun if not too cold where it can catch its own bugs. Place in a container and water container, not the plant directly, a third of the way up the plant. Hope this helps.

"Can" you? I don't know. "Should" you? No. If you have that many bugs inside your home you should call a professional exterminator.

Jim, mine is on the vacuum line to the pool sweep. It gets anything on the bottom including bugs. The skimmer gets anything floating on the surface. Charlie K. Anaheim Ca.

Great! I didn't realize that. I will have to look into that further too. It does help keep the bugs away.

If you're talking about catching one after another, but leaving them in the container, yes. You can suck up one bug, re-compress the chamber, and then suck up more bugs. The first one will not be able to get out. I have done this twice. Then you can empty them all at once.

I wipe mine inside and out with one of those bleach wipes every 4-5 kills. Obviously turn the unit off first. Much better than snap traps, glue pads and the so called humane traps. This is the only thing that worked for me.

First bug has to sink to the bottom for the cleaner to pick them up. Then it depends on the cleaners ability to pick the bugs up. Once trapped in the canister, they're dead and won't get out. For me I mostly find the occasional worm.

They eat bugs and are otherwise harmless. Leave them alone.... or install lights and improve drainage.

You can't control and eliminate them with just this. You need an exterminator. And after the 2nd time they were here, I have had none.I used this product all around my bed and bed frame, every night. And I even sprayed it in my bed a couple of hours before I went to bed. It has a great minty smell. I also purchased the bed bug powder and put Glad containers under every leg and powder in it. And a mattress bed bug or allergen encasement. Good luck

It depends on what kind of bugs you are catching. When I had the fly infestation in my crawl space (dead animal) It was every day plus I had fly paper from the hardware store hanging next to the trap. It only took about 3-4 days to get rid of all the flies after the dead animal was removed. I still leave the light hanging in the crawl space to catch gnats. I have one in the kitchen to catch fruit flies, mosquitoes etc. I probably change it once a week, not because it's full, but because it's disgusting to see dead bugs on the paper. Needless to say, after the fly incident, I bought extra refills. Bugs are definitely attracted to the light. Hope my opinion helps. It depends on what kind of bugs you are catching.
