COMEFLYWITHME

I have seen these on and off but have never tried it. Had been tempted to buy it but have not got around to it. Till now.

After looking at many reviews, I think the conclusion is:
- If you want to kill flies easily - spray Mortein
- If you want to kill without chemicals, use a fly swatter or a zapper. Though the swatter will leave a gut and blooded dead fly.
- If you want to have fun killing them, then buy this

The deal is to buy two of the newest version guns, add 2 of the laser sights, use the code, then the laser sights are free.
Shipping is $19.99 for me to WA.

From what I can see, this is the cheapest I've seen with the laser sights and 3.0

      I like these but my missus prefers the electric tennis racquet, less mess to clean up and you can just take it outside and shake them out

      Pros not mentioned here, they are actually really good for mozzies.
      Cons, you can buy them way cheaper on Aliexpress, also they have lasers

      Unfortunately that comes out more expensive for me:

          Because you can only buy one sandal for $780, not a pair.

          Also note that the right one is slightly more expensive than the left one. Being a true OzBargainer I bought 2 left sandals.

    • StopSpending on 15/02/2022 - 12:59

      One pinch of salt per shot. So yeah if your house is perfectly clean, it will need a vacuum after use plus vacuuming up the carcass. I will personally use it outdoors mostly.

      • InsertCrow on 15/02/2022 - 13:01

        Fair enough. I imagine it's still fun as hell to use though

        • 0jay on 15/02/2022 - 13:14

      It's not at all a pain - you just don't notice a bit of salt on the ground. I've had mine for a few years now and never noticed salt around the place.

        I think that depends on whether you're a shoes on/off household, whether you've got carpet or hard floors, etc

        I can say I stopped using mine in my shoes off, tile floored house.

      I didn't realise you could actually shoot those! Good fun!

  • supersaintly on 15/02/2022 - 13:21

  • bboz on 15/02/2022 - 13:22

    I have one. They do work, but you do have to get quite close. It also depends on which species of fly you are targeting. Some little flies disintegrate, others take a couple shots to kill. Others seems to shrug it off.

    Be careful though, you could easily do some serious damage if misdirected.

    Overall 6/10. Would not buy again.

    • StopSpending on 15/02/2022 - 13:27

      Is yours the version 3.0? How close is "quite close". I hope I won't get buyer's remorse after spending $150!

      • bboz on 15/02/2022 - 13:36
        +5

        Yes, version 3. I'd say anywhere between 10-20cm, if you want to be sure. Of course you can also get lucky from further… and depending on the type of fly.

        Here is it

        Just to clarify, it can be a lot of fun but I was expecting it to kill from a little further.
        Other insects though, like mosquitos have zero chance of survival.

    • st33p on 15/02/2022 - 13:56

      I find different brand have different size grain, eg. Saxa the grain is larger than then "generic" Coles/Woolies salt.
      With bigger grain you get further range and easier kill.
      I managed to kill a few flies on the fly when using the Saxa salt.

    • figarow on 15/02/2022 - 14:02

      This tells me everything, thanks. Not worth the money or effort.

  • shmahoo on 15/02/2022 - 13:30

      Oooh, interesting idea. I have a green laser that is strong enough to light matches and pop black balloons. Would it pop a (very small) black fly?….

      • bboz on 15/02/2022 - 13:40

        Not before you pop your own vision. Don't look at the spot where that green laser if hitting for too long, you will regret it.

  • glennp on 15/02/2022 - 13:53

    Bought a couple of these before Xmas, very satisfying and does not make a mess. Not sure whether a laser sight would achieve anything though. Fly needs to be stationary, just aim slightly above and blast away.

  • Crammed on 15/02/2022 - 14:12

    I have one of these, bought it for my other half for a Christmas present a couple of years ago. She loves it, but she is a self proclaimed fly hater. We use the saxa cooking salt. It is nice and chunky, and as such it seems to give a range of about a meter for the common house fly. While it is a novelty, it does work and it is fun.

  • mayo on 15/02/2022 - 14:30

    Got one of these because tiny cloth moths were multiplying and super flighty and annoying to catch if you approached them with a swatter.

    With this even the kids actually enjoy doing their bit to get rid of annoying flying bugs that make it inside. Suffice to say flying pests have been eliminated and any that make their way inside don't last long.

    That being said I have noticed that larger flies can just shrug it off but they're usually slower and not a hassle to just swat.

    Under alternatives you missed out the electric racquet (https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07B8D2SCR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_g…). Surprisingly effective - and provides quite a ZAP. Not sure I’d be investing in the OPs method.

    Probably nowhere near as good as the salt shots (with this you need to be perfectly perpendicular to the surface where you're shooting) but it gets the job done. It also fits in a tiny corner in a drawer, and it was less than $10 so best bang for your buck ever
