Bug-A-Salt 3.0

It is designed to eliminate common household pests like flies and mosquitoes on contact. While it uses a small amount of table salt as ammunition, the velocity is sufficient to kill small insects instantly.

The amount of salt fired is minimal—about a pinch per shot—so it is generally safe for household surfaces. You will need to wipe up the salt residue after use, but it will not damage furniture or walls.

The Bug-A-Salt 3.0 features a cross-bolt safety lock to prevent accidental firing, making it much safer than traditional chemical sprays. However, it should still be treated as a tool and kept out of reach of children when not in use.

You should use standard granulated table salt. Avoid using sea salt or rock salt, as the larger, irregular crystals can clog the firing mechanism and reduce accuracy.

The 3.0 model features a texturized grip specifically designed to make the slide-cocking action smooth and manageable. Most adults find it easy to operate, though it does require a firm, deliberate motion to prime the device.

The Bug-A-Salt is optimized for small, soft-bodied insects like flies, mosquitoes, and gnats. It is generally ineffective against larger, tougher pests like wasps, hornets, or spiders, and should not be used on them.
