How Bug-A-Salt Went From Gimmick To Big Business | Forbes

[@michaelolive8152]

The biggest issue in the world of innovation is the separation of creatives and engineers

[@dr.detroit1514]

My brother and I are now retired. Instead of going to the dump with our .22's to shoot Rats, we sit in the yards and shoot flies with our Bug-A-Salts.

I’m thinking of buying one they are worth it? How far do you Shoot from

[@dr.detroit1514]

@@anonymous2457 In my view, it's worth it, it's a practical toy. I tend to use it inside the house only. I can easily wipe out flies, mosquitoes, crawling smaller spiders, and these annoying little moths I get in the house. Optimal range for me is around 3-4 feet. Mine has the optional laser sight. Put the dot on the bug, take off the safety, pull the trigger, and Pow, it's gone, first time, every time. Not the most effective on larger bugs, such as horse flies, hornets, etc. Using the genuine Bug Salt seems to work best, it appears to be specific for the task.

Good for them! Got mine for my birthday today and sooo stoked!

[@georgex9543]

Impressed that mine has lasted so long. Really close up works. Beyond a few feet works. There seems to be a middle range though where the air arrives just before the salt with enough force to often trigger the fly to fly away in time to save itself.

Get the Shred-ER

[@apandahouse5099]

Bug a salt should have a full auto version battery power or co2

[@fish4fun354]

They got the shredder now, bit pricey though.

Trust me I was watching this in Marc Potney's Invent it rich episode today

[@chuckguerin8141]

Haha! I used gravel and tooth picks! On the big yellow grasshoppers in corn feild. Bet you have shot matches and toothpicks yourself. I love my 3.0.

I have the camo version of the bug a salt and I absolutely LOVE IT! I hated spraying the flies and mosquitoes with bug spray and the chemical smells it would leave behind. I've decimated all bugs in my home with this product.

Great series

[@thomasnuzzo9019]

Does it shoot regular salt?

[@jrtruscott33]

Yes

Isn't Lorenzo Maggiore the same guy who designed the legendary Monster XL Supersoaker?

So is it a salt rifle?

More of a shotgun but it works very well

Oh m god. I love my bug a salt gun!!

[@reallynooby206]

I went to a 🪰 school with this gun, suckers didn't know how to fly yet

[@tomsmith7836]

this is a really cool product so awesome

[@HeroInTheSun]

They definitely deserve it! Mine is around 8 years old and never had an issue. Maybe too durable to make more money 😊😊😊

[@kokab]

This is cool. But isn't it a lot of salt being wasted. What about bug-a-soil?

[@sutats]

Oh, bug assault. I geddit now!

[@estebanazcarragasada9386]

Nice

[@PersonaN007Grata]

I hope he makes a long range precision model in the future. 2 to 3 foot range is a tad short. 5 to 6 feet would be a dream but I understand that then, at the muzzle, it can be dangerous. A 3 to 4 foot long range precision version please!

[@UpRoaryus]

have you tried their SHRED-ER co2 powered version? It may be just what you seek...

[@gingermills9641]

I love the truth about my cotton tip true story

[@GuyDeaux]

I got one. It's a waste of money. Either the thing doesn't work or the flies in my house have superpowers.

[@bobaboy7503]

Mine works great. You've just got hyper flies man
