Customer Reviews for Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun

Bug-A-Salt w/ laser sight works best for taking out spiders, especially Black Widows, without getting too close, and with no chemicals. My daughter loves her BAS.

I've always wanted a fly-gun. Of course, I could never figure out the right ammo...but this guy did. While I'd not say it's perfect...sometimes it seems as if the salt doesn't spray and sometimes the fly seems unaffected...but most of the time this thing knocks 'em down and out. I've not found the estimated three-foot range to be anywhere near correct. The effective range seems to be about a foot or so. This is not to say I'm not happy. This thing is a lot more fun that a swatter, and given that a fly's ability to process visual signals is about four times a human's, the gun is much more effective than swatting. Worth $40? Well, a swatter's cheaper, but the gun is tons of fun and yes, over a few days I've noticed the fly population in my house has crashed. I think they're afraid of me now. Good. Fear the man with the Bug-A-Salt!

I have not yet given it as my gift to my son. I am sure he will love it.

Easy to use, for all ages (especially the old porch setter). Fly shooting is quickly becoming our favorite family event. So far the one to beat shot 3 flies in mid air consecutively. Lock and load!!

Got this for the lizards and frogs, works on the lizards so far. Shoot them in the face and they're blinded, then you can have you're way with them. Frogs are next. works good, seems very durable. Ammunition is cheap. No need for the iodized ammunition.

What's more fun than shooting indoors...being able to shoot something that just 'bugs' the s..t out of you, & doing it indoors! Now, I just have to figure out how to get the deer to come indoors so they can eat the salt...mmmm, now where's my 30-30?

I received the camo Bug A Salt for my birthday close to a year ago and when we moved to the country, our property was infested with Mud Dauber Wasps, the standard type as well as the Blue and Black Mud Daubers. I have sprayed them, set out traps for them and in the process, I got stung by a Blue wasp on my thigh and it hit me in the wrong place. I wound up with a blood infection, lots of swelling and a whole lot of pain to go with it. Since then, I declared war on those wasps and I began attacking them with my Bug A Salt and have been taking them down faster than I could with spray. Granted, it takes more than a couple of hits but they go down and once they are down, I finish them off. All in all, I bet I have nailed down well over 30 wasps over the last several days and I am very happy with my shooter. It has been a lot of fun and the wasps try to escape after the first shot. But, I am always ready for them when they return. This shooter takes down all kinds of other critters such as spiders, lady bugs, small beetles and just about everything else. So far, I have yet to see anything that it hasn't had results on.

Mine shoots low, but once I compensate for that it's great. I've even taken a flying wasp down from 3 ft. It won't kill them, but it will shred their wings so you can finish them off easier. Much better than flailing around with a fly swatter!

Tried this on Wasps and Carpenter Bees. Doesn't work so hot. Good for what it designed for, Flies.

I bought this for a Chrismas present, so we have not used it yet, but this was the lowest price and shipping was fast. Plus it looks really cool and it is hard for me to leave it sit in the closet until Christams, but my wife keeps reminding me, it is not for me. I might have to get one for myself.

I was given a gun for xmas. In addition to being deadly with flys, it also does a great job on spiders and roaches. Much more fun than swatting with a newspaper! In Florida, I don't know how I've survived without one. (Look for a sale. Paying $40 for this, in my opinion is nuts).

Who knew shooting salt was practical! I bought 2 of these for my brother-in-law and nephew for Christmas. Not only do these work, but it provided hours of entertainment just watching them hunt down flies and spiders. I highly recommend this salt gun, especially for that hunter- minded individual that would enjoy adding a little fun in taking down those pesky critters.

I purchased 2 of these guns. One for me and one for my son(37 yrs old). We have so much fun with these guns out on the deck. My neighbor saw these guns and he ordered some. The customer service was great and the shipping was extremely FAST. Thanks for a fun product.

I bought this for my husband. It really works well. He easily killed all of the spiders in the garage and is now looking for more of them to shoot.

This, is without a doubt, the most fun way to eradicate pesty vermin. The gun is well made. best darn pest control device I have ever purchased. Bees and wasps get a little testy when you shoot at them. So far, no stings yet.

My son had the first Bug-A-Salt Gun I ever saw. Last September I got one as an early Christmas present because I was so enthused over it. It was near the end of the fly season and beginning of hunting season. I'm 82 now and unable to walk far enough to pursue pheasants and doves like I used to but I spent hours shooting flies off my garage door and howling in glee. I also bought four more for gifts to others. I'm anticipating Spring so that I can try it on the huge carpenter bees (the "geese" of the bug world), wasps (pheasants), hornets (doves), flies and even mosquitos. Buy one! You'll love it!

I've had mine for 5 months now and I have killed hundreds of flies. I have had no problems and the gun works great after probably more than a thousand shots already. I have become a "dead shot" hehe, and no fly is safe once I see them. I have even shot a few out of the air, skeet shooting style. I have also killed or neutralized many moths and a couple grasshoppers. Another plus of this gun is it leaves little mess. Every once in awhile it will blow them into a bloody mess but nothing like a swatter. Anyways, as far as I'm concerned, this is a totally awesome product that I highly recommend.

A fun toy I received as a birthday present from my brother. Great for eliminating spiders and flies in the house and garage. Super glued a section of rail on top. Now I have the only one around with a laser, for night use. Can do without the safety....
