Recommended for soft-bodied insects: common houseflies, mosquitos, pest/poisonous spiders, small – large (but not XL) roaches, lantern flies, cabbage worms, earwigs and moths. This product is legal in most of the states across the U.S., but the notable exception is California. The product’s chemical compound is not legal in this state, therefore neither is the weapon. After dreaming of an air-powered gun for many years, Maggiore staked his life-savings — and much more besides — on his dream. He said: The device is best described as a plastic toy gun for killing critters. The air-powered ‘weapon’ is called the Bug-A-Salt — a ‘bug blaster’ complete with a rapid- fire mechanism and an aiming sight. Users can also choose from a wide range of colour and style options. There’s even a range of branded shirts and hats to choose from. And since we’ve mentioned messiness, it’s a good thing to know that salt will be sprayed pretty much everywhere around. The good news is that it’s just regular salt, so it cannot do any real damage, but you will need to clean it up.

Every model in this line stands out from the others due to some cool design-idea the makers had – they all have different and unique variations in their patterns, layouts, and colors so get ready for a pleasant surprise! This salt gun has an automatic safety aka it resets every time, which means that even small children can use it if you just want to relax while they have fun hunting insects, supervised of course. The salt hopper was improved compared to the older version and is now more durable which means that reloads are easier to make when you are fly-hunting so you won’t be wasting any more time. The science behind the gun that makes fly-killing fun is relatively simple. The Bug-A-Salt sends a blast of compressed air speeding towards its target. There’s also a rapid-fire option for particularly large pest infestations.

SHRED-ER

Since the 2.0 salt gun is an improved and re-engineered device, you can be sure that it will provide the effective results you need around your home. Using ingredients such as oleoresin capsicum and others, these spheres burst upon impact, releasing a fine spray that spreads around the target. Of course, this powder is specially made to be extremely irritating, and it causes an intense burning sensation that temporarily incapacitates anyone around it, particularly acting upon the eyes and the respiratory system. The idea to have all products in this line come in slightly different or even unique variants in their patterns, layouts, and colors is very neat, as you can be sure you will always have something different than anybody else.

We are very proud of this new, lethal edition to our family. However, we must warn that instead of leaving flies whole for easy cleanup, it may splatter them. Lorenzo also assures the 3.0 model greatly increases odds for in-flight take down.

Bug-A-Salt 2.5

Thanks to its improved features and the way it releases the salt, the Lawn & Garden model offers increased odds of taking down insects in flight.

These devices might look like toys, but they are certainly not that. There’s a reason for which manufacturers warn against letting anyone under 18 years old handle salt guns. They are not lethal, but their construction ensures enough power to kill insects, which means that the sprayed salt can hurt if pointed at another person. A popular, modern-day alternative to the fly swatter called the Bug-A-Salt has finally launched in the UK this spring after proving exceptionally popular with fly- haters in the US and Australia.

The product stands out thanks to the fact that it has an improved sighting so that you will enjoy better accuracy no matter what insect you are hunting.

The new version of Bug-A-Salt comes with a rapid-fire Cross Bolt Safety. The trigger mechanism was changed so now it’s very light. This is good news for you but it also means you need to be sure to keep it away from small children so that they don’t get hurt. Its effects last up to 50 minutes, but they start to wear off after 15 to 30 minutes. According to its manufacturer, this powder is stronger in certain aspects than the one used by the military and law enforcement, being made for maximum stopping power. Since some manufacturers, such as Bug-A-Salt, are located in California, there is a high chance that you don’t have anything to worry about in terms of needing any special permit or license to use this salt gun since it basically keeps flies away from your food. A pop-up indicator lets you know when the device is ready to fire, while another viewing window allows you to see how much salt is still available before needing a recharge.Although salt guns used for bugs can be a fun way of dealing with flies and other insects, this idea was taken further and introduced in a matter that is a lot more serious than getting rid of bugs, namely home defense. While the fun and quirky ‘guns’ in the range resemble toys, they perform the important task of ridding homes and gardens of unwanted critters. The product isn’t toxic, it doesn’t require batteries, and has a good accuracy rate for an area within 3 feet. All of this means that it is much easier to use than other models and also safer when compared to other products on the market.
