Flit guns were in common use from about the late 1920s until the mid-1950s, which coincides almost exactly with UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation. 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 [[TechnologyMarchesOn technology became obsolete in the real world]], replaced by the aerosol spray can.

* ''VideoGame/BloodIITheChosen'' 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 in the same manner as an AerosolFlamethrower. It's a poor weapon overall, and its ammunition is better put to use as grenades for your assault rifle.

* In ''VideoGame/{{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 1960s', it's somewhat justified.
