BUG-A-SALT Gold Digger Fiber Optic 3.0

Okay this thing is cool. It works as people say it does, Put some table salt in the top , cock the gun and fire away!. It works up to about 30 feet, and if you're skilled enough, yes you can blast bugs out of mid air. It absolutely takes out flys, but heartier skinned bugs may not die (just be blasted away or stunned).PRO TIP, If you are having a hard time cocking the gun, use one hand to pull the cocker back while the other hand (usually holding the handle and trigger) pushes forward at the same time, makes it a bit easier.Stiff trigger for whatever reason. You WILL probably get a tired finger or pumping arm if you kill more than about 6 or 7 flies in a few minutes. Not a HUGE deal, but just an FYI.

Great way to take down flies, also works wonders with cockroaches. A single penny's worth of salt will be enough for several shots. No mess to clean up other than a bug that has not been squashed and the tiny amount of salt that it took to neutralize it. I won't deny that it's also fun to use.

Got this as a joke, but it’s actually a pretty decent bug killer. We basically replaced the fly swatter with itIt’s a plastic toy but it does what it advertises. Accuracy is 0 but you’re shooting salt so it’s forgiving. Overall easy and fun to use.

2nd one I’ve bought, this thing is awesome. Always funny seeing people’s reaction cause they just think it’s like a nerf gun but after I tell them it shoots salt and actually kills flies there almost instantly sold. I work at a school and this product comes in very handy in our cafeteria.

My wife is unable to activate the pump action on this device … and I admit, it is challenging.It does, however, do exactly what it advertises to do … obliterates flies with simple household salt! (No need for special salt)My wife uses it for Carpenter bees, which are wreaking havoc on our homes eaves. While it doesn’t actually take out a carpenter bee, it does knock-them to the ground allowing her shoe to finish them off … certainly better than spraying all those chemicals on the upper parts of the house - only to be dealing with the creatures year after year anyway.I’m hoping that the pump mechanism will become more user friendly in time … right now, our bee problem requires a 2-person team.

I love these guns…they work, they are durable but not infinitely indestructible, so in as much fly shooting as I do, they last a little longer than a Texas summer. I’d love to see one CO2 powered.

This is the best fly killer.It also works on wood bees.You can pick off a fly at 3 feet away

Bug-A-Salt Gold digger appears solid. I really like the fiber optic sites. I've read reviews of this model having a very lite trigger action but the one I received has a very hard trigger action which makes it difficult to keep your aim on the target. I have used other models of the Bug-A-Salt gun that didn't have that problem. Manufacturer needs to work on their quality control! Still debating if I go thru the hassle of returning the item or keep it and live with the difficult trigger action.
