  • Asked by Jennifer from Dubuque
    09/06/2018
    Q
    Is it normal for me to be less than a half an inch away and the fly still won't die from the Bug-A-Salt?
    A

    The Bug-A-Salt Gun works optimally at a 3 foot range, so shooting right next to an insect it is actually easier to miss them. You will not get the same spray pattern that you do from a bit farther away. If you are able to get that close, then you can also use a swatter. If you have an ongoing fly problem, then we do have lots of great professional products for a complete treatment. Please see our Fly Treatment Guide for more information.

    Q
    If a bug gets on the food and you shoot it off can still eat the food
    A

    That is really up to you. You should be using only table salt in the Bug-A-Salt Gun, however this product is not designed as a food-handling or serving product. We would not recommend spraying the Bug-A-Salt where there may be exposed food since we do not necessarily enjoy eating insects.

  • Asked by William from Kahuku
    05/10/2018
    Q
    Any suggestions for using the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun in regions where there is high humidity which causes the salt to clump?
    A

    Table salt is the only thing recommended for use in the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun and it can unfortunately get clumpy in areas with high hunidity.  One suggestion is to add uncooked rice to the container that you store the salt in so that the rice will absorb moisture from the salt. (Do not put rice in the Bug-A-Salt gun).  You can also remove any build up inside the gun by soaking it in hot water and letting it dry completely before adding salt.  Also, the cartridge will hold enough salt for 50 shots, but you can try only adding salt as needed or ½  amount so that the salt does not sit and gather moisture between uses.  For further suggestions, please contact SKELL INC at 310-392-3288.

    Q
    How come my Bug assault isn't killing flys even though I'm within 2 feet of them?
    I've done the foil target practice and I'm dead aim within 3 feet of the target. How come it isn't killing flys when I shoot them no matter how close or far away I am. They are stunned briefly but are back up within minutes BUGGING me again.
