- Reviewed in Canada on July 30, 2024Verified PurchaseI waited a long time to get a Bug-A-Salt 3.0 and I'm really impressed - the build quality is fantastic, but most of all - it works really, really well! No more smeared fly guts on windows and waving disgusting fly swatters around. This thing is quick and clean - all that's left is a dead fly and a few salt crystals to vacuum or wipe up. It's really fun, but it's also an optimal way to deal with flies.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2024Verified PurchaseThe Bug-A-Salt Yellow 3.0 does a great job at taking out flies and other small pests—when it works. The salt shoots with enough force to knock them down, and it's definitely fun to use. The design is lightweight, and the pump action is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
That said, it does require a bit of aim and patience. It’s not as simple as just pointing and shooting—getting the right distance and angle takes some practice. But once you get the hang of it, it works well and is a satisfying way to deal with annoying bugs. If you’re looking for a fun and effective way to handle pests, this is a good choice.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2024Verified PurchaseLet me tell you about my husband's latest obsession - the Bug-A-Salt Yellow 3.0. This thing is like a game changer in our household!
Basically, it's a gun that shoots salt to kill bugs. Sounds crazy, right? But it's surprisingly effective and a lot of fun to use. My husband loves nothing more than hunting down pesky flies and mosquitoes with his Bug-A-Salt.
Not only does it get rid of bugs without the mess of traditional sprays, but it also provides some entertainment value. He gets a kick out of the satisfying "pop" sound when he hits his target.
Plus, the bright yellow color makes it easy to spot in our garage, so he always knows where to find it when he needs it.
Overall, the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 has become my husband's go-to weapon in the war against bugs. It's practical, entertaining, and surprisingly effective. If you're tired of dealing with pesky insects, I highly recommend giving this a try!
- Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2024Verified PurchaseWhen I first heard about Bug-A-Salt, I couldn't help but chuckle at the idea of using a "salt gun" to combat bugs. However, my opinion quickly changed after experiencing its effectiveness firsthand during a particularly buggy summer in Northern Ontario.
The Bug-A-Salt turned out to be far more than just a novelty item. When the air was thick with bugs and traditional methods of pest control fell short, we decided to give the Bug-A-Salt a try. To our surprise, it worked exactly as described, delivering a satisfying blast of salt that effectively dispatched pesky insects.
One of the standout features of the Bug-A-Salt is its simplicity and ease of use. With just a few pumps of the handle, you can unleash a powerful shot of salt that takes down bugs with precision and accuracy. It's a fun and satisfying way to tackle insect problems without the need for harmful chemicals or messy traps.
However, I did encounter one minor drawback with the Bug-A-Salt: filling it can be a bit cumbersome. While it's not overly difficult, it does require some patience and dexterity to ensure that the salt reservoir is properly filled. Despite this small inconvenience, I believe that the effectiveness of the Bug-A-Salt more than outweighs any minor challenges with refilling.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Bug-A-Salt to anyone dealing with a bug problem, whether it's indoors or outdoors. It's a surprisingly effective solution that delivers on its promise of pest control in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Plus, it's a fun and entertaining way to tackle insect infestations, making it a worthwhile investment for any household.
Pros:
- Surprisingly effective at dispatching bugs
- Simple and easy to use
- Fun and entertaining alternative to traditional pest control methods
- Environmentally friendly and chemical-free
Cons:
- Filling can be a bit cumbersome
In summary, the Bug-A-Salt is a game-changer for bug control, offering a fun and effective solution to pesky insect problems. While filling may be a bit tricky, its overall performance and effectiveness make it a must-have for any home.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2023Verified PurchaseHad my eyes on this gun for some time and I finally decided to pull the trigger (no pun intended). The price was a bit high for a "plastic" gun but I told myself that if the quality was so bad, I will send it back. So I ordered it.
Arrived the next day. No assembly required and it is ready to go out of the box. The built quality is very good. It is very sturdy and although I didn't try, I'm sure it can survive if it is being dropped. Accuracy is very good from about 3 feet or less. The one thing to be aware is that the salt can bounce back and possibly hit the eyes so I used safety glasses just as a precaution. Efficiency is about 70%... and by that I mean that even if the fly is hit, the shot doesn't always kill the fly. In any case, the gun does a good job.
No, it doesn't come with salt - uses ordinary granulated salt and one fill, gives aprox 80 -100 shots.
In closing, there is nothing bad I can say about this "Salt-a-Bug" gun and I can highly recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant but broke within a couple weeks
Verified PurchaseAim slightly lower , like 1 cm lower than where it should be, and go in close. It’s an excellent gun.
It’s the best thing we’ve tried, not to mention good fun, one day I was using it after 2 weeks using it, and it just locked up and won’t let me reload. Too expensive to buy again if it’s only going to stop working again.
It’s a real
Shame. It feels well built, and no batteries, I can such high hopes.
Hopefully this is a one off, and the rest are fine, I’m really sad it broke, I wanted to contact the seller before writing this review, but I didn’t get the option to.
Only downside is salt everywhere, I was cleaning g salt off work tops a lot, much better than having flies though, but we did end up trying to get them on the floor or on the bottom half of the walls so the salt didn’t go everywhere. If you have bother with flies.i think this is definitely worth a try.
