Fun
5 of 5 stars
By Vince in Parkville, MO on 12/23/2012

Bug-A-Salt has never made fly and insect control more fun. Not only will it eviscerate flies from a good distance, but any other insect or unwanted spiders in the house without harming the surface beh…

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.…

By Cole in Cedar Falls on 10/31/2013

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 bett…
