What does BUG-A-SALT do?
Fire your Fly Swatter! The BUG-A-SALT insect eradication device was conceived of and invented by Lorenzo Maggiore.
The pump-action salt gun generates a miniaturized shotgun effect through ingenious design. Utilizing ordinary table salt as a lethal, non-toxic projectile, BUG-A-SALT defeats pesky, soft-bodied insects with an accuracy range within 3 feet. The salt stuns and dehydrates the bugs, so they remain whole for easy cleanup.
Developing a device that strategically kills disgusting, pesky flies in an easy-to-clean, fun way hasn't been easy. A brief recap of the BUG-A-SALT product launch and major milestones below:
