After years of struggling with Majanos... im down to 4 of the PITA things but they are embedded in LR that I care not to pull manually.

Here's my idea:

Some sort of 1/4" suction pump to really put some suction PSI at the end of 1/4" airline tubing.

Perhaps find a stainless steel 1/4" tube that angled at the end of airline for digging.

My approach would be to have the suction pump running pulling some decent PSI.

I approach the remaining Majanos with a stainless steel tube at the end. At they retract, DIG DIG DIG into their home sucking out all that I can of them.

Suck them into oblivion where the suction pump discharges the shredded majanos into a BUCKET

Any ideas of what suction pump to buy?

Thought of a WetVac system converted down to a 1/4" end...but that seems sorta redneckish

Seems like a plausible idea. Once majanos are gone permanently I could still use this setup to clean LR cracks

Thoughts....
