been trying to figure out what to get my dad for christmas, then found this on ebay.  there is never a shortage of flies on a farm.  this will keep him busy for hours!  you load it up with salt, pump it like a shotgun, and shoot.  it even has a laser attached!

That had to have been invented in Florida.

when we were kids, we had a bb pistol made by crossman that looked like a 1911.  you remember?  we would load it up with salt and shoot flies.  it ruined the gun, but we were kids and didn't know any better.

My kids sent me one awhile ago. Allows vengeance for years of fly hassles. Play around with different size salt crystals   Really is a great gift but a little messy indoors

Works pretty good on Carpenter bee's too. Its kinda like skeet shooting. One can get quite good with a bit of practice and take them right out of the sky!

I ordered a pair of them for my wife and mother-in-law before reading the review where the guy says you have to get close enough for a tight pattern to take out a cockroach.  If it will just slow one down enough to whack it then it'll be worth the investment.  We don't have a lot of flies because the spiders and geckos get them.

Pretty surprised at how few flies we have. Cockroaches I tryin coexist with. The mosquitos really "bug" me and the centipedes I take an odd "angry-pleasure" in crushing. 'Cept the last one which crawled into our bed and bit both of us, we fried 'em.

funny, i had to order from another vendor.  the first vendor refunded my money and cancelled my order because of my address.  hopefully the new order will get through.  i guess there are restrictions for shipping these lethal weapons into saratoga!!!   ;D

When we were kids we used to shoot wooden matches out of our BB guns at flies on the walls outside. My buddy had a yellow bricked house which, much to his parents chagrin, had black burn marks all over it. The matches would literally explode on impact. We got pretty good at it.

   You want to see how safe you are a night,  Just turn on a blue light UV flachlight and cruise the house at midnite.  It puts them  co0ckroaches in the spotlight.   And the burgulars scramble back thru the window!!! ;)

I have my cat trained to hunt them at night, or maybe he trained himself.

I think I am going to send 1 of these to my farmer friend.  He is waging a constant war, might as well up his armorment.

Come to think of it, this may be a handy tool for training the cat.  Likely much more effective then the spray from a water bottle.
