    Q
    Can you please tell me what the salt/water ratio is and the EC?

    We are a little confused by your question. This was submitted under our Bug-A-Salt gun page. Salt is simply poured into the holding resevoir and no water is needed for this use. Insects are shot with table salt when they are noticed. Did you want more information on a different product?

    Q
    I noticed you claimed Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun what made in California, but I read it is manufactured in China
    A

    When we carried the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun many years ago, it was produced in the US. We no longer sell this item and we are not sure where it is made now. You would need to contact the manufacturer directly for more information.

    Q
    Can I use this gun to shoot Amdro into trees to kill fire ants?
    A
    The Bug-A-Salt gun is only designed to use regular table salt in it. Even if it could handle the Amdro, that would not be an effective or accurate way to eliminate any fire ant colony. Please review our article on How To Control Fire Ants for the correct treatment method to eliminate the ants from the tree and your yard.
