BUG-A-SALT Yellow 3.0

I've been eyeing the Bug-A-Salt for awhile now but it was hard to justify the $40 price tag. After a fly got into our house and caused a war between my husband and I, I realized that I couldn't complain about his bug eradication techniques if I wasn't willing to fulfill my duty of participating so I went and bought the Bug-A Salt gun.Of course the first week after I got it, it rained nonstop giving us a temporary reprieve of the invasion of insects, but not allowing me to test the Bug-A Salt. Unfortunately, during that time I had to deal with the mocking of my purchase when a "fly swatter or shoe could do the same thing" from my family. But as soon as the sun started shining and those buggers came out from their hidey holes I was ready for them!I have spent the last 2 days decimating the juvenile spotted lantern fly population around our home and it is the most satisfying thing in the world. Shoes and fly swatters wouldn't have had nearly the same effect as the Bug-A-Salt. The bodies are piling up on the patio just waiting to be swept away. My husband and son have even gotten in on the fun of it and now begrudgingly admit it is worth the price.We are using table salt and it works great on the smaller insects. I have only come across 1 fly so far and it took 3 shots- 1 to stun it, 1 to kill it and 1 to send a message to the others that we were not messing around! We have already refilled it 3 times due to the amount of bugs that are invading. I may go ahead in the future and order the Bug-A-Salt salt that is a larger grain but for now table salt is doing the job.We have declared war on the insect world and are kicking their buggy butts. Not only that but Bug-A-Salt gun has given me a power I never had as I no longer cower in fear of the bugs waiting for my husband to save the day. I am now the warrior of the home and run head first into the battle with my war cry! The Bug-A-Salt gun has given me the courage to take control of my home in a way I never thought I could do.Pro's-- Absolutely addicting- Good accuracy from a distant- Uses table saltCon's-- Price- It is hard to cock the gunFinal note-If you are afraid of bugs, or think getting bug guts on the bottom or shoes or dealing with a nasty fly swatter with the remnants of bugs past is just gross then this is really for you. It is similar to a nerf gun but serves a purpose and does it well. This gun will have you out hunting the bugs before they come to you. I've always said one big reason to keep a man around is for killing bugs but this gun just proves we don't need them for that anymore!

I held off on buying this for a long time due to the price. But after recieving this I have to say that the money was well spent. It IS a lot to spend on what amounts to a fly killer. On the other hand, the quality of the molded plastic parts and assembly of this device are impressive. Speaking as a guy who used to be involved in manufacturing, the quality and tolerances used in this assembly are designed to last years. This is not a toy that your kid will break in a few days, or will fall apart, or become warped. I removed some shipping labels, filled it with table salt, and was killing flies in 5 minutes. You have to get fairly close for a SURE kill, but you can disable and main from up to 3 feet away. 2 feet is a possible kill probable disable, anything within a foot or so is likely going to be a lethal hit. But it is random, I have had flies that required multiple hits. The thing is, this is a very quick and lethal process that is poisen free and is MUCH quicker and more successful than a swatter.I killed about some flies that congregated around my landlords kitty dishes in about 5 minutes. And I RAN OUT of flies. This was OUTSIDE. Of course, a few gusts of wind and a few minutes later, and more flies came, but not as many as had accumulated over a full day. The problem is my landlord is elderly and he puts the dishes RIGHT AT THE DOOR OPENING, so that when you open the door, the flies come in. I bought the Bug Assault for the flies inside, but I will likely be cutting down the ones outside a few times a day, since it is so easy. I was nailing 3-4 in a single shot that were around the rim of the cat food dish. There were so few alive after I cleared them, that I wasn't as worried about letting flies into the house when I went back in. At any rate. I have to admit, it's entertaining. I am a softy when it comes to animals, birds, and fish. But I draw the line at bugs. I don't want to torture them or anything, but I won't lose any sleep assasinating flies. In fact, it is very satisfying after having them torture me so often and not being able to get them all. I recommend this product for post traumatic fly bugging trauma. Get your revenge right here.

I bought this when I lived in an old/borderline raggedy town home. Spiders easily found themselves inside of my home and this Bug assault gun came in handy. I threw on the laser to make my aiming precise. I wish I had taken pictures of how big some of the spiders were, and the bug assault handled them all with 1-2 shots. The only downside with this gun is that you have to pump the action and turn off the safety switch after each shot. This can be a problem if the critter you're trying to shoot starts running after the first shot.I've since moved to a better residence, but I keep the bug assault near my bed, just in case a critter pops up. The bug assault gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend.
