    This little number right here is solid gold at my house and garage. It’s strong enough to move sand, dirt, pollen, dander but not so strong you can’t fire it around inside your house. Just get air flow going one direction, don’t point it directly at the priceless crystal vase with mother in laws ashes :D - and blow that mess right out. Rechargeable battery keeps you from dragging cord around knocking over everything else :D Tahoe has dirt, sand, pollen, dander contributions every day, especially summer.

    They call it a leaf blower. It’s slightly underpowered making it perfect for clean up. I use it daily and in the light can see a crazy amount of (stuff) that I’m happy isn’t going into my lungs. Done in 5 minutes.

    I blow it straight over and on the neighbors car instead :D

    How about one of the roomba vacuums?
    You’d have to empty it yourself though. I’ve never used one and don't know how much sand and bugs and leaves they can hold. I doubt much. A couple days worth? Surely someone somewhere has tried them for this application, in which case you might find results in something like Amazon reviews of them.

    One thing that might help is a rubber threshold that you glue to the concrete as an added door seal, augmenting the rubber seal at the door bottom. Associated weather stripping at the sides and top of jamb.

    Good luck. I stayed in Florida, 6 miles from shore and the sand and bugs were a regular annoyance, along with snakes and other life forms.
