Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt
1 of 5 stars
By Domenick in Pompano Beach, Florida on 01/08/2015

Stinks, doesn't kill anything, not small lizards, or moths. Doesn't shoot any salt unless you cock it and shake it...Do they really expect a fly or bug to pose for you to get close enough to shoot it.…

shot up close to kill
2 of 5 stars
By Dan in Precott, Az on 05/21/2018

Save your money. It was fun to shot but would not take down a fly in flight. Had to get 2" away from a bee in the window to kill it. Not worth the money.

By Mark in SHANDON on 12/01/2014
