    I’ve never used one. I have used to electric fly swatter though and that was fun! My father in-law brought one back from China before they got popular here and that thing would fry just about anything. The American version is too wimpy.

    I have a cousin with a hole behind her right shoulder and my wife has one on left thigh. It isn't pretty when a bite happens.

    I killed one in the house a few months ago. They catch your eye when they move. It is like they have a different cadence/gate when they move compared to other spiders.

    I seen them at Academy today and almost bought one. I wasn't sure how well they work but will have to go back and get one. I need one when I'm cooking outside.

    They usually run around $40.00. Not cheap, pretty well made. My first one broke after a few years, I bought another. I have used coarse and regular table salt, I think the regular is more accurate.
    Expensive for a toy, but well worth it for the amount of fun.

    I can confirm that fine salt is much better than course. First fly I hit with fine salt was splattered.

    I get a ton of spiders around my windows this time of year, almost a nightly ritual blasting them with that gun!

    They work pretty good on flies, not so well on those diamond shaped bugs.

    We get a bunch of wolf spiders in our garage after the first fall cold snap. The first shot stuns them, then it takes another shot or two to kill them.

    You know, those Wolf spiders hunt and kill the more dangerous to human spiders like the Brown Recluse and Black Widow.
    Might want to give a few of them a "pass" for good measure.

    Don't have either of the dangerous ones around here, as far as I know.

    We have recluse spiders, so would bet you do as well. Not common, but still around.
