Cartoon characters still use old-fashioned "flit gun" bug sprayers, in much the same way they still use Cartoon Bombs, Plunger Detonators, and Big Electric Switches. Flit guns were in common use from about the late 1920s until the mid-1950s, which coincides almost exactly with The Golden Age of Animation. While Golden Age cartoons with flit guns are just reflecting contemporary technology, it's their use of such devices which established flit guns as the Universal Cartoon Symbol for Bug Sprayer and they've remained so long after the technology became obsolete in the real world, replaced by the aerosol spray can. |

One of the common methods of attempting to dispatch the cockroaches in Oggy and the Cockroaches. Jack has a tendency to fill them with his own homemade pesticides, which often end up turning the odds even further in the favor of the roaches. | |

One appears in the apiary in BioShock, presumably as a smoker for the hives. It's actually an in-joke among the developers; the model was originally going to be a usable weapon that would fire the equivalent of the Insect Swarm and Enrage plasmids among other things. | |

Blood II: The Chosen features the Insect-a-Cutioner, with a lit Zippo lighter attached to the top - primary fire shoots out extremely caustic bug spray, secondary turns it upside-down to use it as flamethrower. It's a poor weapon overall, and its ammunition is better put to use as grenades for your assault rifle. | |

In Scratches, Micheal Arthate can examine a fumigator of this type in the greenhouse of Blackwood Manor, though it can't be used. Considering the estate's owner lived here up to the early 1960's, it's somewhat justified. | |

The 1934 Betty Boop cartoon Theres Something About A Soldier has an Army regiment battle giant mosquitos. The soldiers have middling success with giant swatters and peculiar artillery until Betty Boop arrives at the front with a huge flit gun. It takes four men to pump it, but its gas cloud eradicates the mosquitos, for which Betty is given a hero's parade through town. | |

Willy Wonka uses one in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Roald Dahl explicitly lampshades it as the kind you'd see "before Aerosols came along," part of Wonka's trademark eccentricity and anachronism, but he also clearly expects his young readers to be at least dimly familiar with the things. | |
