I have an oreck car vacuum, and I picked up a 12 volt gell cell. It is there version of a car vacuum.I cut the cigarette lighter end off, added a few clips to accomodate the battery and put all in a small backpack.I have to charge the battery about ever three outtings, about once a month.The battery never runs down, when I need it most.Its collection chamber is a little bit small , but not that bad to work with.

I have not used it yet, but I did pick up a mini 12 volt canister type vacuum.Some use it for gold prospecting, picking up dust in crevices and such. Got it off ebay for 30 bucks or so.

Oh yea, my daughter routinely finds these small car vacs at garage sales for a buck.I believe I can get two summers out of of one and its nice, all fits in a small backpack.I put some light oil around the top of my collecting container to keep them from climbing out, but those are our michigan ants.They can climb..................................Scott.
