    BuzzFeed SF had a fly problem, which we fixed with a weird, wonderful contraption.

    It's called the Bug-a-Salt, an air-powered salt rifle.

    A single blast of table salt, shot within a 3-feet range, is enough to smite most small airborne enemies.

    The Bug-a-Salt annihilates pests like houseflies, mosquitos, and moths upon impact.

    It's a ridiculously intense bug murder mechanism that's good for exactly three reasons:

    1. Instead of squashing bugs, the rifle leaves them whole for easy cleanup.

    2. It's non-toxic, unlike most bug sprays.

    3. IT'S REALLY FUN.

    Here are some real, human testimonials.

    "It's elevated in-home pest control to a sport. Also: no more nasty fly-swatter messes." — John P.

    Important to note that salt does get all over the place.

    "It's delight-ifying the bug murder experience." — Jessica M.
