Y'all this sound crazy, but the Bug A Salt is fucking awesome.

It's worth it if you can get a black Friday deal or something under 30$ because it's just a little salt when you shoot it and there's no guts on your wall, no dirty fly swatter, no chasing, no jumping, no reaching, and you feel like a sniper hitman.

Its not a toy. That shit hurts when you get hit lol

Do you not just have salt everywhere?

[โ€“] GenesisJones@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How much salt do you think it shoots lol fr tho it's just a little for each shot

Flyscreen on my windows has stopped me ever needing to kill flies.

[โ€“] dingus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think my window isn't sealed correctly in one of my rooms because somehow bugs can all come in even though there is a screen. It's frustrating because it means I can't leave them open for fresh air at night.

Old farm houses don't really seal well enough to make that matter for me lol

I pop the ones on the screen from the inside out to let off some steam from time to time. Yell out a random movie quote with accent before going to town! ( โ€ข_โ€ข)>โŒโ– -โ–  (โŒโ– _โ– )

For flying bugs just use a mist spray bottle with water. Spray the bug with water first so it can't fly away. Then squish it. It's cheaper, the water evaporates, and for people with bad aim it's a lot easier to hit.

That's fair, but no fun and still bug guts.

Have my eye on this for years. But it costs more then โ‚ฌ60 in Europe if you add shipping. That is just insane.
