How did I miss this when it came out a couple of years ago? A gun that kills flies with salt? A gun that's safe to use indoors? Where the heck was I? 

Apparently, a few months ago someone at the radio station actually brought one of these up here ... and I missed out.

The Bug-A-Salt uses a blast of pinch of salt to take out flies and other bugs. When I first saw the videos, I thought it looked fun but I was definitely skeptical of the results.

Then I went to Amazon and saw that the reviews from customers were outstanding. Especially for the upgraded 2.0 model which came out in February 2015.

The cost is around $50. That's certainly more than a flyswatter. But apparently the Bug-A-Salt has a better kill rate and just the joy of pulling a trigger while killing a fly...that's worth the price right there.
