Is there a portable vacuum that has enough suction to suck up a

Yellow Jacket in flight?  The ones I've tried  aren't powerful enough to

accomplish the task.

 

I want to add a word of caution ( maybe over cautious) about vacuuming Hornets. Sometimes depending on the length of hose, velocity of the suction, or just some tough Hornets, they dont die in the vacuum and will reemerge. People, ( No one from nafex) it has been told, in an attempt to ensure the buzzers stay in place, squirt a little aerosol hornet spray into their vacuum. Given the right spray and a little spark from the vac motor, this can ruin your whole day.
