Bug-A-Salt: A Shotgun Against Flies

By Dane Carlson on August 8, 2012 in Inventions

The Bug-A-Salt (bug assault, get it?) is a miniature shotgun that fires ordinary table salt in a lethal pattern against house flies, mosquitos and other pesky insects. Unlike other methods of swatting flies, with the Bug-A-Salt, the fly remains whole for easy cleanup.
