Bug A Salt and autism were made for each other...

[indiucky]

My daughter and flies have been at war for nigh on 19 years.....until she became verbal we had no idea...anything flying around causes stress...lots of stress and what we called, "moments"....at about age 13 she began stalking and killing them when they'd get in the house....she got good...very good...

The other night I was watching YouTube and came across the Bug A Salt gun...I told her to Google it and see if she thinks it's something she'd want to try...

The next morning she came downstairs and said, "I saw some videos of the Bug A Salt...I'll give it a try..."

So I bought one...then two...then the Shredder...then a couple of Crosman Vigilante's I reloaded for salt....

It took her a minute to use it...her first forays into something are always a challenge...but she persevered...the other morning I noticed she wasn't in the house...I looked out the kitchen window and saw her hunting flies.....she loves it and the peace she gets from it is amazing...Me????

Oh I am a roach killer extreme...with my Shredder and my Vigilante's I put a hurt on the roach population in the backyard and garage....

If you have not tried one of these give it a go....mucho fun and joy...

God bless...

2nd. I hate flies and I'm not fast enough to kill them with a swatter.

This thing is amazing. I refuse to wait until a fly dies or flies out of my house when it's tired of being there.

Also - really happy your daughter can find some peace with it.

What's her hourly rate? My hot, ratty, poorly sealed apartment is in dire need of an industrial scale fly murder solution.

Sounds like you all have raised a wonderful daughter. Your posts over the years have made it clear how proud of her you are, but that "19 years" really threw me. then I realized how long I've been on INGO.

Wait...does this mean I'm autistic...

What is it about hunting hapless small vermin to soothe the mind? I watch our cat staring at a chipmunk hole for hours, focused intently but without another care in the world, and laugh at him. But are we really superior?

That looks fun. What is propulsion on that thing?

Our chiweenie is TERRIFIED of “sky raisins” (anything that flies), likely because she got stung by a “spicy sky raisin” (a bee) a few years back. She runs and hides under the bed when she sees one in the house. So I hunt them down for her with my Bug-A-Salt. I friggin’ love the thing, one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, bar none! I’m not great at shooting them out of the air yet. They need to make one with a stock, or maybe I need to buy one to modify myself…

 

[Cameramonkey]

I agree with her. Those things are AWESOME.

I love mine, but it tends to really make wasps mad & makes your fire quickly while running.

I suggest the Shredder...good for scorpions....

we had a swarm of flies in our garage and they all congregated on the side door window. Had to be at least 100 of the sky raisins. While I was out one day my son decided to spend some quality time with the bug a salt shooting that window. He took care of them but I also park my firebird next to that window which got covered in salt that ricocheted off the window. I wasn't too happy cause polished aluminum wheels and salt don't mix but at least the flies were dead LOL

If you add a stock to it do you need a tax stamp?

 

[phylodog]

I've about worn mine out, it's not as effective as it once was but living with four horses out back I'm never without plenty of targets.

First time I ever used or saw one was in our guides lodge in S.D. during pheasant opener. Never seen more flies than in mid October in Winner, SD.

Needless to say the evenings get interesting after dinner and cocktails when someone pulls out the Bug A Salt!

 

[I Invented the Internet]

I've been using one for a few years now. They're extremely effective on flies, but gnats and mosquitoes...it's hit or miss.

I intentionally fired it at my foot once. That kind of sucked but I got over it. You definitely don't want to fire this in anyone's face.

My wife is mildly on the spectrum and my daughter heller so. I have a Mr. Evil plan...

Beautiful kid. If she's for hire I'll ask her to do a little cleanup next time my eldest brings her two no door closing heathens out.

I use the larger sea salt to give it a kind of buck shot load.
