I opened my door at night, and a bunch of gnats and moths flew in. I sucked them up with the hose attachment to my vacuum cleaner, but I'm afraid if I put my vacuum cleaner back in the broom closet, then all the bugs will fly back out. I'm thinking surely there is some sort of flap or valve to prevent this, but I don't know for sure.

I am a pest controller, the best way to eliminate bugs of any kind from exiting a vacuum bag is to whilst the machine is still sucking spray some insect spray into the vacuum hose for 1 minute. It kills all the bugs in the vacuum bag and also in the vacuum hose.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

It probably depends on what kind of vacuum you have and what kind of filter it uses. But it's extremely likely that, like you said, the bags that collect all the junk have a flap on it that keep things from coming back out. I use my vacuum to suck up spiders all the time and never think twice about them coming back out!

Yes, they will. The vacuum doesn't kill them. I tried this when we had the asian lady beetle infestation, and the little buggers were crawling back out of the hose! Try spraying first them get them with the vacuum. :)

I bought a plastic dog flea collar and put it in the vacuum cleaner bag and it killed the bugs. You can get them at the 99cent store or any drug store/pet store.

Yes they will fly out some of them, not all. The best thing to do is kill them and put them in the toilet and flush

I doubt it but that is a funny thing I have wondered about spiders before too.
