  • Bug-a-Salt, a fun way to control pests

    What a cool idea. Fun, practical, I think this guy will make some money off this. I just worry about a kid shooting a bunch of salt into someone's eye.

    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

    Do I have to worry about bugs suffering a torturous death simply because they occupy the same space?

      I imagine the salt is like buck shot to a fly. Plus, I don't know if their brains can really feel much pain.

        This sounds great. I'm especially excited to be walking around on bits of salt all over my floor, since I'm sure it will take the average person more than one shot to hit each fly.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Dig your own grave, and save!

          The alternative is either bug spray, a fly swatter or a rolled up newspaper. In every case you're going to have to wipe things up. I'd rather clean up salt than poison, or splattered fly parts.

            I've never seen a fly splatter when hit with a newspaper. And you're still going to have to clean up a dead fly.

              I have seen flies spatter on many occasions when I use a newspaper or magazine, especially when I squash them next when they're on a window. I'd rather clean up a dead fly that's in one piece.

              Just admit, you wish you thought of this device first. I will be buying one when they're available and I'm getting one for my dad.

                  I liked the tops of those long boards. Reminds me of the old Al Merrick shortboard design craze of the 80s. very retro.

                        I see this product as being similar to smoke bombs for your lawn. They don't really solve the real problem but they are fun to use. Basically they came up with a cool toy and found a way to market it so a man could convince his wife it's a useful household item.

                        Plus, there's no way that salt will kill a fly, but don't tell your wife that....at least not initially.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
