Abstract: An apparatus and method for eradicating and disposing of bugs and pests. An inlet hose is connected to an inlet opening of a housing having a cutting or shredding device movably mounted therein. The hose or inlet opening may have a cutting screen removably mounted therein for initially shredding bugs and pests entering the hose. A first motor is connected to the housing for moving the cutting or shredding device therein. A second motor is connected to the housing for creating a vacuum within the housing and the inlet hose to suck bugs and pests into the inlet hose and into the housing. A waste container is removably mounted on the housing. When the first and second motors are operated, the inlet hose can be positioned to suck bugs and pests into the housing for shredding.

Abstract: A system for eradicating or neutralizing undesirable elements such as organisms or insects on or in a particular article to prevent harm to humans or animals coming in contact with or exposed to the article, comprising exposing predetermined surfaces of the article to a predetermined ultraviolet radiation to kill or neutralize undesirable elements on the surfaces of the article; and thereafter applying to the surfaces of the article an eradication technology treatment to further kill, neutralize and/or drive out and expose undesirable elements. After the application of the eradication technology treatment, the article surfaces may be exposed to a second ultraviolet radiation to kill or neutralize any remaining exposed undesirable elements. The apparatus may be in the form of a handheld device, mobile modular units, or a large unit on a trailer or in a fixed location.
