Bugasalt

[psalm7]

Anyone see the bugasalt comercial ? Gauranteed acurate 2 to3 ft . I cant post links or pics with my dial up . Check it out funny and neat . fun pest control .

Mixed reviews though. It seems a lot of them break after a few shots, while others work well. Looks like more fun than a flyswatter though.

We've owned a Bugasalt for two years. It works fairly well if you use coarse salt like sea salt (not rock salt). It will work on flies with table salt, but larger insects or those with harder bodies are just stunned. The larger, heavier, coarse salt grains carry quite a punch out to about 5-feet.

We give it to my grandson who goes around the yard "hunting" bugs with it. He's killed flying wasps with it - sort of like sporting clays, only it's sporting bugs.

If you use it indoors - it's pretty messy - you're shooting salt all over the place.

I have had one for a couple of years. There have been no failure to feed or failure to eject issues. I appreciate the tip about coarse salt since I have experienced a couple of "failure to stop the threat" when engaging a wasp with table salt. I cannot rack the action fast enough to get the second shot of the controlled pair before the wasp leaves (although weaving drunkenly). Fun toy.

Everyone knows that birdsalt will not penetrate properly.
You gotta use bucksalt. You can even shoot slugs with bucksalt.

I've also owned one for a couple of years and it's been trouble free.
Fly hunting has never been more fun.
Note: it doesn't work on wolf spiders, but it makes them run fast.

This sounds fun, I'll check it out.

We used sand in pump air rifles when I was a kid. Salt too. Takes out bees well.

Strike anywhere matches gives you an explosive warhead when launched from an air gun into a hard surface.

Hello rickyrick,,,

You and I grew up the same.

A $10.00 Chinese break-barrel pellet pistol works well,,,
My pop sat on his back porch shooting wood bees out of the air.

Bug-A-Salt is one of the best forms of redneck entertainment to be had.

I haven't needed one in a while, but it's less messy to shoot down bugs in the house with a can of compressed air turned upside down. Instant Siberia, then crush the little bugger with some tissue paper.

A somewhat expensive gadget, but fun to at least aggravate the flys even if you don't kill them. I've had fun with mine.

I've had mine for over a year now and it works pretty well. You have to get in to within a foot or so with regular table salt. I've yet to use anything coarser, that's my next thing to try in it.
