BUG-A-SALT Yellow 3.0

I've been eyeing the Bug-A-Salt for awhile now but it was hard to justify the $40 price tag. After a fly got into our house and caused a war between my husband and I, I realized that I couldn't complain about his bug eradication techniques if I wasn't willing to fulfill my duty of participating so I went and bought the Bug-A Salt gun.Of course the first week after I got it, it rained nonstop giving us a temporary reprieve of the invasion of insects, but not allowing me to test the Bug-A Salt. Unfortunately, during that time I had to deal with the mocking of my purchase when a "fly swatter or shoe could do the same thing" from my family. But as soon as the sun started shining and those buggers came out from their hidey holes I was ready for them!I have spent the last 2 days decimating the juvenile spotted lantern fly population around our home and it is the most satisfying thing in the world. Shoes and fly swatters wouldn't have had nearly the same effect as the Bug-A-Salt. The bodies are piling up on the patio just waiting to be swept away. My husband and son have even gotten in on the fun of it and now begrudgingly admit it is worth the price.We are using table salt and it works great on the smaller insects. I have only come across 1 fly so far and it took 3 shots- 1 to stun it, 1 to kill it and 1 to send a message to the others that we were not messing around! We have already refilled it 3 times due to the amount of bugs that are invading. I may go ahead in the future and order the Bug-A-Salt salt that is a larger grain but for now table salt is doing the job.We have declared war on the insect world and are kicking their buggy butts. Not only that but Bug-A-Salt gun has given me a power I never had as I no longer cower in fear of the bugs waiting for my husband to save the day. I am now the warrior of the home and run head first into the battle with my war cry! The Bug-A-Salt gun has given me the courage to take control of my home in a way I never thought I could do.Pro's-- Absolutely addicting- Good accuracy from a distant- Uses table saltCon's-- Price- It is hard to cock the gunFinal note-If you are afraid of bugs, or think getting bug guts on the bottom or shoes or dealing with a nasty fly swatter with the remnants of bugs past is just gross then this is really for you. It is similar to a nerf gun but serves a purpose and does it well. This gun will have you out hunting the bugs before they come to you. I've always said one big reason to keep a man around is for killing bugs but this gun just proves we don't need them for that anymore!

This product is great. My wife and I are able to pick off flies, and more importantly lantern flies! It's easy to use and to fill, using basic table salt. I do recommend that you keep it inside if it is damp or really humid as the salt will clump. If it does get damp, Simply empty and dry out the salt chamber before adding fresh salt. Its lots of fun and no more pesky flies!

Fun way to get rid of bugs in the house.Great for getting those spiders hiding in the corners and the flies that land on something you don't want to whack.I have so much fun hunting with mine that if it should ever break I'll buy another one ASAP.You'll almost want to purposely let flies into the house.Highly recommend.

This Is a awesome little salt gun. It actually works well. I enjoy using it around the house, it's a nice toy. I thinknit has killed a few flies once I started using it. I would saynitnis a good buy, you will enjoy it.

Once or twice a year we experience a fly plaque, and it's terrible. I hate using the sticky traps, but sometimes it's so bad it helps to have a way to kill them inactively. So I have one of those electrocution type tennis rackets, but the slide up button has to be pressed in, and it gets heavy because of the batteries, and the batteries die fast because one must stay ready. (I wouldn't have ordinarily used all of the 'ands' in between my criticisms, but I am trying to get my annoyance across.)Fly outbreak, and the archaic fly swatter is more of a single fly target, and I'm just annoyed. I remembered a friends bragging about how awesome these salt guns are, and I decide to order one, and I wonder why I waited so long.Let's start with the bad:Maybe it's in the directions, I didn't want to read them, I wanted to kill the flies, but you have to leave enough room in the salt capacity for the apparatus to feed more salt, otherwise it only shoots air. (This took less time to figure out than reading the directions.)Since everyone must practice good gun safety, one needs to continue to apply it here so one doesn't develop poor gun safety habits. I caught myself keeping my finger on the trigger a lot at first after pumping the gun because I wanted to blast the next evil fly. I then realized that this was the worse habit to develop, and corrected it.It's not the easiest to 'reload', and this point is a negative to some, but I see it as a challenge to get stronger. Perhaps wearing a glove on the pump hand would give a better grip, and I don't think this is a good system for someone without strong grip strength. I see it as a method to get better at 'reloading', and getting stronger while having fun.Lastly there's salt everywhere, but I really got carried away.The good:This thing is so fun, I'll probably take it outside and blast flies around the chicken coop.This thing works so well, and one doesn't have to be anywhere near as close as a fly swatter or electric racket.Once aim is perfected, it's so satisfying to be able to shoot flies out of the air.Ammo is extremely cheap. (Now we know the answer to how to use up a whole container of salt in no time.)

THE BEST!! This weapon against insects is the most effective to we’ve ever used. It is easy to use and so much cleaner than a swatter. No insect guts toclean or gross swatter to keep in reach. Even the big horse flies are stunned long enough to capture. My husband can shoot a fly midair. It is fun and effective and I definitely recommend it.

Ok this thing WORKS. It's so easy to use anytime there's a bug in the house and it's much more effective than am electric fly swatter. It uses regular table salt so no need to purchase anything special. It's sturdy and well made. Just takes a little arm strength to load. Bonus points that it's fun to use.
