I don’t leave food out. Garbage gets tossed, counters are cleaned. I replaced half the windows in my home and caulked up the rest. I bought a salt gun and have been picking them off but there’s always more.
How do I figure out where these little fuckers are getting in?


They’re incredible and by far the best bug killing method I’ve ever used. They don’t move when you’re pointing it at them from a meter away and the salt usually just rattles them to death so you aren’t picking up bug pieces. Sometimes it vaporizes them, though lol
Don’t make the same mistake I did and shoot it near a house plant, though.
Care to translate that German for us lesser people?
Yes, looks effective!
When young, I had a blowpipe shooting sucker cup darts.
Most effective mosquito hunting device I ever owned. But left a mess of the target and was slightly cross to re-use the darts ;-)
I will give translating a try, but guess some of the silly punch will get lost in translation:
“Will the salt squirt [on] the beetle?
No, the beetle stays complete for an easy cleaning”
(Where “bespritzen” may also be used as a colloquial term for ejaculating on someone or something and is in general only used for liquids)
That’s pretty funny. Even funnier that it’s saying almost exactly what I said!
Yes, after thinking about it for a few seconds it becomes clear what they are trying to say.
The direct 1-to-1 translation to German is just really bad and funny sounding :-)
What salt gun do you use? I’ve never heard of them and now I’m intrigued
The original Bug-A-Salt. I did some research and the knockoffs are nowhere near as good. And I sure as hell didn’t want the one with CO cartridges.
I don’t work for them but it was worth every penny. I know 2 other people with them and they say the same.
