Ban a-salt guns!
This is no joke. When it arrived at my door a couple years ago DW declared an perfectly undemocratic ban on all guns in the house. After hours of floor debate and daas Torah consultation, a not-in-sight-of-the-children ban has been strictly enforced. All appeals over the years, including emergency situations, have been rejected.

I use windex for mosquitos but I hate killing them. Would much rather a method that traps them.

Nah, shoots a pinch at a time. If you need to shoot multiple rounds in one spot then you may need to sweep a bit.

Pro tip: it can sometimes be challenging to chase a fly around the house and get a good shot. If you can lure it into a bathroom and close the door, you are guaranteed the kill.

I never have mercy on mosquitoes. Other flys or bugs I sometimes do. Even spiders I have more mercy for than mosquitoes

Towel. Needs to be the right size. Not too big, not too small.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Spiders eat other insects. They're our friends

Big part of the reason I use this gun is because I’m deathly sensitive to the CRUNCH noise that that accompanies squishing insects.
