Salt Gun

[DSG2003Mach1]

I have one but the flies must be on roids or something here. I shoot them they go tumbling ass over end and then get up and fly away. Is there a special salt other than ordinary table salt like it says to use? I might put some pepper or chili powder in there to make it spicier and they won’t want to come back.

thought you were supposed to use rock salt or something like that

I’ve been using Morton table salt, works great.
Just thinking, I’ve got some silica sand I should try. Might be too fine, idk.

I just got my first kill today…lol. My wife was complaining about a fly in the house. I first shot it a couple of times, but wasn’t able to kill it. I don’t know if my aim is way off, but I added more salt to it and bang I finally killed it. I think you have to make sure it has enough salt in it. You guys aren’t kidding, this thing is fun to play with.

Every time I think of rock salt I think of that scene from kill bill with Buck where he shoots her with the shotgun loaded with rock salt. I do wanna do that to the flies.

Do you have a generation 3.0? They are supposed to be more powerful than previous models. You can look on YouTube to see which one you have.

Ya it’s the new 3.0. You don’t have to turn the safety off after every shot like the old ones. Just pump and shoot.

I also have the 3.0. Just make sure you add enough salt.

Just Mortons. It blows wings off and tears them apart. Even a nick makes them go bye, bye.

Here you go, @roy_1031. Common Morton salt (like Brad said) works great. Here's video proof. LOL.

I bought one last year. It works good. I should have saved my money. We don't get enough flies in the house to justify the expense, as little as that is. I did use it when a bunch of moths decided to swarm my garage doors. I bet I killed a couple hundred of them dang things. But that was the only time I really used it.

No sand.

Fill it to the top and keep pumping.

we still talking about the salt guns or you switch subjects to the neighbor?

Well, I guess it could apply to both.

Too messy. I use a spray bottle with IPA. Lead them about an inch and they die a quick, mess free death. Once dry, pick them up by a wing or use a vacuum. Works equally well on spiders.

Outdoors I upgraded my electrical system so my big bug zapper is now on a light switch. We don't get a lot of bugs here, but a good zapper is fun for a white trash flare up from time to time.

Sounds like a waste of good beer spraying IPA’s

We do have Pine Sawyer Beetles that just might laugh at a salt gun. They're about the size of your thumb. I about shat myself when I learned they could fly when one landed on the back of my hand at night while I was holding a bottle of beer in one hand and my phone in the other.

That's like the Palmetto bugs we have.

Aka cockroaches. Shoot for the legs then stomp it with your foot.

Oh, you have to stomp them.

Or bust out the 12 gauge and put some buck shot in their ass.

Not sure my wife would be happy with me blowing holes in cabinets and stuff for ones who get in.
