What are the long term effects of spraying salt all over your house?

Does the kosher salt prevent Muslim flies from entering paradise?

While it’s not an inside toy, for most anyway, a .22 cal airgun charged with some #12 birdshot is a serious bug killer. Use a cleaning pellet on both ends of the shot charge. Cabbage whites beware!

Dip the wads in melted lard for bugs that follow the Religion of Peace.

Holy crap, that's a great idea. I've got one that should work perfectly. Now to buy some #12 shot. I think I already have the .22 caliber cleaning wads.

I keep a tennis racket out there. Possibly looks ridiculous from afar, but works very well. Smak; stomp. Done. Repeat.

Use this salt, shoots farther, hits harder, and will shoot down wasps.

Terrible cocking mechanism. Hurts my finger every time I cock it. Way too loud also.
