World hunger. Climate change. Poverty. These are problems that the human race has struggled with and failed to address adequately.

House flies? Pssht. Got that covered.

This is video of the Bug-A-Salt, a plastic gun that shoots table salt at flies.

Where else but America would a love of guns and hatred of house flies inspire such a novel solution?
