BUG-A-SALT is a Santa Monica-based sporting goods manufacturer that develops a pump-action salt gun for insect control. The device fires ordinary table salt as a non-toxic projectile to stun and dehydrate flies at close range, offering an easy-to-clean alternative to traditional swatters. The invention was conceived by Lorenzo Maggiore, who received an official patent in 2012. Since then, BUG-A-SALT has released multiple product iterations, including 2.0 in 2015 and the 3.0 Black Fly Edition in 2018, as well as a laser sight attachment in 2017. The company operates in the sporting goods manufacturing sector and has attracted press attention, including a 2012 Wall Street Journal feature.
