Bug-A-Salt Shred-Er Starter Kit

So it's obviously a fun toy to kill flies. I had the original little rifle, and that's exactly what that was. This is a HUGE upgrade. It's not a toy, and it's super powerful. It's not going to break a window or anything, but I would imagine it hurts if you suck at muzzle awareness. The original sometimes didn't kill the fly in one hit, but this one pins their carcass to a wall. One shot, one kill. I haven't tried to shoot anything bigger than a housefly yet, but I'd bet money it would easily take out a horse fly, or maybe even a wasp. I'm super impressed, it's SOO much fun, and totally worth the money. I really thought it was going to be a "buyer's remorse" situation, but, not only do I not regret it, but I get genuinely excited when I see a stupid, unsuspecting fly in my house. Also, they sell a laser sight that mounts to the barrel for $15. Buy it now, it's awesome!

Works great against any flying insect. It's a lot more powerful than the rifle type salt guns.It was very usuful when the house was invaded by spiders and other bugs. Bugs can live in peace outside the house, inside they will be targets for my salt gun - no mercy!

I've had the rifle version of this salt gun for years. It was always sort of a fun novelty, and honestly not ultra affective. The pistol version is the real deal and very effective. They obviously put some time into the design and produced it with quality material. It is much less of a toy, then it is a useful tool around the house. CO2 makes it much more powerful, and very effective. I almost want to have bugs in the house now, just to have target practice. It is pricey, but very worth the expense.

The media could not be loaded. I have and love the original for flies. but we’ve had a wasp issue for 6 years. I’ve been knocking the nests down for all these years hoping they would build somewhere else. Enough is enough. My wife wanted to hire a $35 a month pest service. I decided $125 for this little devil would save me money in the long run and no poison everywhere. I wasn’t really into the replacement cartridges but it’s needed for these bigger pests. I went through 4 salt cartridges and still air in the tank. Got rid of about 30 wasps all in one shoot out session. It worked so effectively and was fun. I shot from almost 4 feet away up to about 2 feet away. Some further away shots hurt them bad where I came in for the secondary stomp action. I included a shot that went right through the leaves as well. Very powerful. God bless the inventor.

Some quality issues. The product arrived already broken before I could open the box. The plastic holding two screws in place snapped. The weird thing is that the box wasn’t damaged, so I’m not sure how it could have been broken from what seems likely to be relatively minimal movement during shipping.Also, the safety has a manufacturing defect that makes it so that it will not actuate properly.Worst part? The manufacturer doesn’t accept returns. Cool.

If you have big flys. Wasps. Etc. this thing is great. A little pricy. But I’m not mad I bought it

I got this as a gift for my husband, who now gleefully stalks pests around the yard, so it's safe to say it was a hit.The gun itself is pretty heavy and is a good quality build. The kit comes with plenty of extra salt shots and a few extra canisters of CO2 as well.The only issue is that once pierced, the CO2 canister constantly drains. So you have about half an hour or so before it's empty. Pretty wasteful if you're going after a single pest.All in all it's a super fun way to pass the time this summer, but I'd definitely consider a pump action alternative instead of going all in on the CO2 version.

Here in East TN, we have a serious issue with Wood Bees and Red Wasps. They are everywhere and will not hesitate to buzz your head. It is very satisfying to knock a Wood Bee straight out of the air 2 feet away with one blast of the Bug-A-Salt Shred-er! The red wasps are harder to hit and are a little more resistant to the salt blast. That being said, the CO2 Pistol Shred-er is an order of magnitude more effective against thick exoskeleton insects. My brother is an entomologist, and I sent him one for his birthday, he hasn't stopped smiling.
