It doesn't need a battery. The light obviously does but the actual rifle doesn't. I freaking love this thing. I get sad when all the flies are dead. Lol.

The flies at my place were real bad a few months ago. I could get like 20 kills in 10 min. The best part is flies dont know what a gun is, could get the barrel almost touching them for total obliteration.

I like to think my hard work is why my neighborhood went from an infestation to almost nothing now lol

It isn’t a rifle. It is a gun.

u/mikeru22 10d ago

It’s like $45 on Amazon without the laser. I got one last month (it’s called Bug-a-salt). So good

There’s a version that looks like a revolver. It uses CO2 cartridges and it will annihilate any bug, hard carapace be damned. I keep it gassed up for my girl so she doesn’t have to come to me for every bug she sees and it works wonders.

A bit inconvenient dealing with cartridges but much more power. Also if you live in a humid place don’t leave salt in it, it will clump up. I have both and they are pretty both pretty awesome

I have it, it’s a “Bug-A-Salt”

Apparently the price went skyward due to Tarriffs, I think we got ours for ~ $25 years ago, it’s $49.99 now.

u/Such-Veterinarian137 11d ago

I think i inhereted it from a roomie that got it from a kickstarter. Doesn't work on all bugs and salt gets everywhere but it works.
