    Q
    Can you please tell me what the salt/water ratio is and the EC?
    We are attempting a natural way of controlling spiders in a greenhouse.
    A
    We are a little confused by your question. This was submitted under our Bug-A-Salt gun page. Salt is simply poured into the holding resevoir and no water is needed for this use. Insects are shot with table salt when they are noticed. Did you want more information on a different product?

    Q
    Is the Bug A Salt gun safe to allow a 8 and 10 year old to use with no adult supervision?
    My kids informed me that they were using this gun unsupervised at their father's house....
    A

    The Bug a salt gun has been used as a toy and christmas gifts for family members of our customers before and is only using table salt as an "ammo". However you must be 18 years old to purchase the unit and is advised as with most toys by the manufacturer to have adult supervision. If you concerned about the safety of your kids if they were to miss-use the gun you can contact the manufacturer to assess any risks that may come about. Skell Inc can be reached at 310-392-3288. 

    Per the Bug-A-Salt web sites FAQ(frequently asked questions):

     

    Is the gun dangerous?
    No, only if misused: Do not shoot anyone in face or eyes. Treat it with respect like any firearm. It will not penetrate skin or damage furniture
    What kind of salt does it use?
    Any ordinary granulated table salt

  • Asked by Rene from Atlanta, Ga
    12/04/2012
    Q
    Do you feel the salt spray is strong enough to kill a carpenter bee?
    A
    Technically you are not supposed to shoot anything that stings so we can't tell you that it will kill a carpenter bee. What we can tell you is that we have several guns in the office and we have shot beetles, stinkbugs, centipedes, weevils and very large flies (we shot these around the exterior of our office, none of these bugs would dare venture into DMOPC territory!) and all of these insects have succumbed to the Bug A Salt Gun.

  • Asked by John from Hannibal, Mo.
    11/24/2012
    Q
    Why can't the bug gun be used on dangerous insects. It won't kill them?
    A
    The manufacturer uses this disclaimer so that folks won't run around shooting at hornets nests or bee nests. Also, if you miss or don't get a direct hit, they certainly don't want to be responsible for you getting stung or bitten. We have used the Bug-A Salt around our facility and so far it has killed every insect we tried it on including beetles, house flies, weevils, silverfish, house centipedes and millipedes.
