Would a cordless, handheld vacuum cleaner ("Dust Buster") make it easier?

Regards to the list:

Shelly, do you have any Pyganic?  That might do the trick.

One year, I put all my extension cords together and hauled the vacuum
cleaner out to the garden and sucked all the bugs into a bag, then
burned it.  I don't know that I have the strength and energy to do that
anymore.

Marie in Missouri where the cucumber beetles are wreaking havoc.  Oh no!
I'm looking around for extension cords!  I can't find my bottle of
Pyganic!

HELP! The Harlequin bugs are tearing my brassicas to shreds....and
breeding prolifically. I have tried garlic oil and neem to no avail.
Also, I have tried handpicking but I have alot of ground in brassicas
and they just seem to come back en masse. Some of my crops are at the
critical point and I will lose them if I do not figure this out soon. 
Blessings,
