  • Asked by Jennifer from Dubuque
    09/06/2018
    Q
    Is it normal for me to be less than a half an inch away and the fly still won't die from the Bug-A-Salt?
    A

    The Bug-A-Salt Gun works optimally at a 3 foot range, so shooting right next to an insect it is actually easier to miss them. You will not get the same spray pattern that you do from a bit farther away. If you are able to get that close, then you can also use a swatter. If you have an ongoing fly problem, then we do have lots of great professional products for a complete treatment. Please see our Fly Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Roberta from Lincoln City
    04/01/2022
    Q
    How many teaspoons of salt is used in the Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun?
    I am really hoping to get rid of the cabbage moths before they lay their eggs, however I know that salt is not a good thing to have in the garden, as it can kill the plants. So I am trying to find out how much salt is needed to fill the gun, and about how much salt goes out in one shot? thanks, Roberta
    A

    The Bug-A-Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun uses one pinch of salt that will produce approx 50 shots. View our Bug A Salt Fly & Bug Salt Gun video for a demonstration on how to use this gun. 

    We would suggest looking at using a Bacillius thuringiensis (Bt) product such as Fertilome Caterpillar with Bt. Bt is a non-toxic, biological insecticide that is effective against and targets worms/caterpillars. 

    The best time to treat is while the larvae are still small, as older worms tend to cause the most damage. Start checking for cabbageworms in early spring or as soon as you see adult cabbageworm butterflies or cabbage moths flying around the garden. Since insecticides may not be as effective in killing older cabbageworms, however, handpicking (especially in smaller gardens) is effective, dropping them into a pail of soapy water.
