Abstract
An insect eradication device configured to fit within the palm of the user's hand. The device includes a body defining at least a pair of radial compartments. The compartments can be arranged substantially adjacent to each other. The compartments can be substantially circular or elliptical in shape. A first compartment is configured to securably receive a balloon propulsion sling pouch. A second compartment includes a combination projectile container and grinder. The projectile can include salt or another suitable substance. The device uses salt—which is not a food or debris that bugs would consume—to kill flies and other bugs.
