Bug-A-Salt 2.0 Insect Eradication Gun – Item of the Day
Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 Insect Eradication Gun. I decided it was time for something that was just fun for an Item of the Day. And this thing is fun. Here is how it works, you put a bit of salt in it. Not fancy kosher or sea salt, plain very fine table salt. You cock it, and find a fly, flip off the safety and BAM! Dead fly!
Range is about 2-3 feet for effective killing, which is pretty easy to get in range of on a fly. Is this a practical tool? In some ways yes it is. You know when a fly is up in top of a window and you just can’t smack it in a recessed area, well now, BAM! Dead fly.
Or you know that one fly that torments you and you just can’t get a crack at him. There ain’t no hunting regulation about baiting flies boy. Put out a bit of scrap, hide by the fridge and when he comes BAM! Dead fly.
Okay but seriously it is just fun to blast the shit out of a fly with salt. This thing is inherently safe fun as well. About the only real injury it might cause if if you shot someone or yourself in the face so don’t do that. Salt is not an aerodynamic substance so at about 4 feet it is pretty much done and done. It only shots a tiny amount per shot. What I am saying is you can set any responsible child or adult loose with it and not worry too much.
So check out the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 Insect Eradication Gun today and have some good, clean, salty fun. And hey if you keep chickens, consider giving some lightly salted flies to them after your hunting trips.

P.S. – Since I first reviewed this item it has become a cult phenom with tons of accessories being made by folks with 3-D printers, tons of new colors and options as well. You can find all the different variations of the Bug-A-Salt Here along with some new accessories and options.
I am not sure how this salt gun would work out in europe, the EU Beurecrats are looking at introducing registery identity cards and wearable micro tags on all flies by 2018, if a fly was to be killed without the due cull permit paid for in advance then they would know the GPS coordinates of the dead fly and there could be a lot of legal implications and federal fines.
At $50 it should be called Wallet-A-Salt…
Is there a lot of salt to clean up after hunting inside?
No it is a very small amount per shot.
according to my amazon intelligence software (purchased), they are selling 3900+ of these a MONTH for $190,000 in gross sales from amazon a month. That is one of the highest volume items I have ever seen selling on amazon.

What about the cruelty to flies laws ?
I wonder could this machine take down a wasp ? I hate the b~~~~~~s.
I have one of these. fun as hell to use. kids love it too.
Be advised, it hurts like hell. Hardly any salt comes out and at first you’re thinking it’s not enough to do damage. so I had one of my kids stand 5 feet away and fired it at my back. That hurt. UGH
This thing works.
I have one of these and found course kosher salt is better than fine salt for flies. It also gives you more distance. Lots of fun.
Okay I am gonna try it, I was afraid it would not feed right.
Coarse Kosher salt will take out carpenter bees at close range. Great good fun !
Don’t shoot yourself ( say in the foot) to see if it hurts. It most certainly does.
Demo: it will blow holes in kleenex.
Sams club has these on sale for $25
These are probably illegal in California…
Salt button
Look at the associated products. They make laser sights for this thing!!! LOL, now all we need is some land sharks so we can have fly-killing freakin’ sharks with freakin’ lasers on their heads.
I bought mine when Jack first mentioned it. Been working great and I still use it every couple days in the spring and summer!
Diego footer would be a great mc for your idea Jack. I know he’s busy and probably a long shot.
Clicked on the link, got “This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location”
in the Amazon cart. This state is SO screwed up (NY)
Oh just fuck New York.
When I was a kid there were all these bad ass looking pellet guns in the back of like outdoor life, 25 caliber. We cannot ship to New York right in the ad, I was like WOW they must be awesome if they are illegal in NY.
Saved up some lawnmower money, etc. Ordered one, I think shipping was almost as much as the gun and the “100 free pellets”.
Everything was plastic crap, it was okay for say a kid half my age I guess. You learned how to load, they worked a lot like modern airsoft in that you had all the features, safety, and the size and shape was the same as the “real thing”.
I set up a plastic fox in the living room, backed up 12 feet took aim and fired, the “pellet” a plastic pill shaped piece of shit, went about 8 feet and nose dived into the floor.
My Grandfather just went “ha” in his old coal miner way. I asked him why the hell they could not send them to NY if this is all they did. I was like 12. He looked strait me in the eye and says, “because the people that run NY are fuckin stupid”.
The more things change……
what are the differences between the 2.0, 3.0 and the black fly edition? I wanted to get this to destroy spotted lantern fly nymphs.
I have to confess to not knowing that answer.
