  • Asked by Roberta from Lincoln City
    04/01/2022
    Q
    How many teaspoons of salt is used in the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun?
    I am really hoping to get rid of the cabbage moths before they lay their eggs, however I know that salt is not a good thing to have in the garden, as it can kill the plants. So I am trying to find out how much salt is needed to fill the gun, and about how much salt goes out in one shot? thanks, Roberta
    A

    The Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun uses one pinch of salt that will produce approx 50 shots. View our Bug A Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun video for a demonstration on how to use this gun. 

    We would suggest looking at using a Bacillius thuringiensis (Bt) product such as Fertilome Caterpillar with Bt. Bt is a non-toxic, biological insecticide that is effective against and targets worms/caterpillars. 

    The best time to treat is while the larvae are still small, as older worms tend to cause the most damage. Start checking for cabbageworms in early spring or as soon as you see adult cabbageworm butterflies or cabbage moths flying around the garden. Since insecticides may not be as effective in killing older cabbageworms, however, handpicking (especially in smaller gardens) is effective, dropping them into a pail of soapy water.

    How do you fill the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun? I know where to put the salt however it seems to stay there and not come out of the gun?
