‘Shotgun’ Fly-Killer That Uses Salt Launches in the UK
A popular, modern-day alternative to the fly swatter called the Bug-A-Salt has finally launched in the UK this spring after proving exceptionally popular with fly- haters in the US and South Africa.
The brainchild of a self-styled surfer-dude and artist from Los Angeles, this toy-like device sends flies and other bugs packing without leaving a trail of entrails behind. And because it uses everyday table salt as ‘bullets’, it’s safe to use around food.
The Bug-A-Salt was invented by yoga-loving surfing enthusiast Lorenzo Maggiore, who dreamed up the idea on the back of his hatred of critters.
The science behind the gun that makes fly-killing fun is relatively simple. The Bug-A-Salt sends a blast of compressed air speeding towards its target. There’s also a rapid-fire option for particularly large pest infestations.
Bug-A-Salt is now on its 3rd variation of the product and 3.0 promises to deliver even more power and accuracy whilst still keeping the same mechanism of an air-powered shotgun. What’s more you can now even attach a laser sight just in case your aim is a little off!
All of the Bug-A-Salt guns and accessories are available in the UK now at the Bug-A-Salt Homepage
