Bug-A-Salt Gun

I have two of these, and they really work. Pump action handle is not well-designed, trigger pull is horrible, but it's a hoot to blow away flies without smashing them to goop.

How about using it to season steaks, burgers and chicken on the grill?

I've seen the advertisement vids here on MDS a few times. Does it kill or stun them?

It depends on where you hit them. I've had some come up as clean kills, some merely stun them for a few seconds.

The trigger pull is soooo heavy. I bought it for my wife and she needs two hands to pull the trigger (which makes it hard to aim).

Either way, it still sounds more entertaining than a run-of-the-mill flyswatter.

No doubt. Really it's a great idea. I didn't mean to sound so down on it. I just wish my wife could fire it.

Must have. Anywhere locally you can buy these?

If there is a place, I don't know of it. I ordered mine from Bug-A-Salt Order

^^^ QFT!

It's kinda like catching them with a puff of air from a whipped towel/washcloth. They just drop.

Wife was not keen on me trying a mid-air intercept, it got messy...

To show how dense I am, I just now got what the name means.

Granted, I haven't been staying awake at night trying to figure it out either.

Does it kill the fly?

None of the ones I've hit got up again.

I got mine from their website. It arrived, but did not work properly. I called the hotline, and after talking to the rep, they said they'd sent me a new one with no need to send back the defective one, stating that i could either trash it or take it apart to try and fix it.

That's customer service!!!
I'm impressed.

American idea sent to China, I'm out as well.

Got mine this weekend and there wasn't a fly to be found. Figures! Had to do some walking aroung but found a crap-load on a flowering tree in the neighborhood. Between the kids and I, we blasted 40-50. Quite fun!

Interesting secondary benefit... As my 4 & 6yr old got their turns, I told them they weren't allowed to touch the trigger until they were ready to shoot. I also told them they weren't allowed to point it anyone and it must be pointed at the ground 'til they were ready. After a few reminders, it was quite joyous to see their handling improve to the point where I didn't have to remind them anymore.
