    Q
    Why does the safety re-engage as I pull the trigger before a shot goes out?

     We apologize but are uncertain why the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun would be doing this.  The manufacturer prefers to troubleshoot any issues so we recommend contacting SKELL INC. 310-392-3288.

  • Asked by Will
    04/01/2017
    Q
    Can Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun be used in a deer stand?
    For insects like wasps, bees and carpenter bees
    A

    Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun can be used inside and outside for flies, mosquitoes, and almost any other insect.  Technically you are not supposed to shoot anything that stings so we can't tell you that it will kill a carpenter bee, wasp or other bee. What we can tell you is that we have several guns in the office and we have shot beetles, stinkbugs, centipedes, weevils and very large flies (we shot these around the exterior of our office, none of these bugs would dare venture into DMOPC territory!) and all of these insects have succumbed to the Bug A Salt Gun

    A

    If your Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun gets wet you can clean it by soaking it in hot water. This will break down the salt build up.

    Q
    Does the Bug-A-Salt gun work on large roaches and other exoskeletal insects?
    I am also interested in whether the gun works on smaller roaches.

    The Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun will take down flies, mosquitoes, and almost any other insect including a roach, but it should not be the only product used for eradication. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for a successful roach control program.We suggest applying the products in one of our Roach Control Kits.

    Q
    Why do you say this gun is made in USA when it is made in china?

    When we first started carrying the Bug-a-Salt gun it was being produced in Colorado here in the USA. If this has changed and they have started outsourcing the build of the product we are unaware. You can feel free to contact the manufacturer directly at 310-392-3288.

    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.
