Interesting concept! Please note though that it is best to kill the bugs by
putting them in soapy water before getting rid of them.  Do not just put
them back outside.  The two recommendations in the video, flushing and
throwing them out in a plastic bag, are not 100% effective.  The plastic bag
especially, since they could escape into the environment where they can do
serious damage to orchards.
