Fly Fighting Invention

The Atlantic Cities (blog):

Lorenzo Maggiore’s mission was to fund the production of a gun that kills bugs by shooting small amounts of table salt at them. Indiegogo users chose to accept it.

With the looks of a nerf gun, the firing style of a shotgun, and the culinary instinct of a potato gun, the BugASalt lies at the thrilling and profitable intersection of firearms and pest control. (We’ve been here before.) Salt crystals fan out like pellets, making it deadly – to flies – from about two feet away. All it requires is salt.

Maggiore’s product now has almost $500,000 in funding on Indiegogo with four days left to contribute. It’s a significant improvement over his stated goal of $15,000.
