Yay! Flickr fixed their bug!! "Fixed their bug" . . . LOL . . . so appropriate. Because this is what I wanted to share . . . Wendell's birthday present . . . a Bug-A-Salt weapon. Cool, hah! I got it from Amazon: Bug-A-Salt.
You gotta go kinda close to the target . . . three feet is the most effective range, but you can still stun from a farther distance. It's like a shot gun that shoots a spray of salt. It only uses about 1/2 teaspoon per shot, so there really isn't much scatter.
It's supposed to be for flies, but Wendell was successful in getting a 747 cockroach the other night. He stunned it with the first blast and then shot it a couple more times after that. He swept up the salt with the roach.
Here's Wendell practicing in the back yard. He also practiced on Landon's back . . . because Lan was curious about the power of the gun and asked Wendell to. Wendell shot him from about 10 feet away. Landon yelled, "AAAAHHH!!" I laughed.

Thanks for letting me try it, I need to order me one! A lot better than spraying a whole bottle of insecticide. :)
That thing is $50?! And I thought the term was B52 cockroach?
this is too funny..the things you can buy out there! i guess it makes killing bugs fun.
j: LOL boys and their toys. That's a great present! Happy Birthday Wendall. -N
Where'd you buy it from and what's the price? LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!!!! LOL!!!
Funny! A great "adult" toy.
hahaha I like the story you texted me better! :)
How cool! I'd buy one for myself!!
747 cockroaches? Heee! Great fun invention!
nice!
Now that is totally hilarious!
How about trying "Hawaiian Rock Salt" ....? <~~~~!
I bet that would be like "Buck Shot" for little critters! ; )
I bet that would even chase away the feral cats! So no more yowling in da middle of the night! ; )
You're welcome, Mich. I'll order one for you.
Yah, Jace . . . 50 bucks. This roach was more like a 747 than a B52. It wasn't flying . . . more taxi-ing the runway.
And it's eco-friendly too, Jenny!
Thanks, N.
I got it from Amazon, Lance. I'll add a link to my post.
Aunty, I tried to video me shooting a roach, but he escaped before I could pull the trigger.
I know, Les. Wish I coulda got the guy.
Susan, cool yah . . . but it's expensive so gotta be for a birthday present.
HUGE roach, Akemi.
Thanks, Kat.
Mark, I thought about that . . .wonder if would work.
That is so cool! I use Dawn and water in a spray bottle. Just get them wet and it's belly up, take more for the big buggas.
What a crazy cute idea! How's it working??
Moki, it's worked good so far, but I'm still trying to get that carpenter bee that's making holes in the side of our house.
