Bug-A-Salt gives people a way to eradicate creepy crawlies without squashing them, so grisly clean-up jobs are a thing of the past. Although salt guns are most often used for flies given their power, depending on the size of the spider there’s a chance it can kill it as well. This can be useful, especially if the said spider is located in a hard-to-reach spot such as the ceiling or a corner.

The product isn’t toxic, it doesn’t require batteries, and has a good accuracy rate for an area within 3 feet. All of this means that it is much easier to use than other models and also safer when compared to other products on the market. A pop-up indicator lets you know when the device is ready to fire, while another viewing window allows you to see how much salt is still available before needing a recharge. Let’s not forget to state one of the most obvious benefits, namely that using a salt gun can be a lot of fun. It’s true that you should be careful while you use it, especially in terms of keeping any salt away from your eyes, but other than that, you can certainly feel like you’re in an action movie and flies are the villains.

The newly-added cross-bolt safety makes all the difference as when it’s on, it remains on, and when you’ve put it off, it stays that way. This means no more unexpected and, frankly, unpleasant incidents. Furthermore, it also means that you are free to enter rapid-fire mode so that hunting insects can actually become more fun than you could ever think it would be. Then you can rapid fire one after another and get your agression therapy going and really make that Rambo statement!

This is, in fact, a pneumatic pistol designed to stop potential intruders by incapacitating them using a proprietary powder, this way also protecting the lives of other persons that might stand nearby. The cross-bolt safety, which is a new addition, makes sure that the product remains on when you’ve turned it on and that it remains off when you’ve turned it off. This way the risk for any type of incident is less likely to happen.
