BUG-A-SALT Shred-ER Salt Cartridges

We have a lot of fun with these. They work great on yellow jackets because you only need one shot. Also good for box elder bugs. I wish you could reload them. We use them all the time in the summer. We just use the regular bug a salt rifles for spiders and flies.

Slight alignment issue with the Crosman Vigilante, but it works well when closed while properly aligned to the barrel.Easy to reload at home:Coarse salt mixed with corn starch at ~4:1 ratio.Refill magazines with salt mix.Add a drop or 2 of isopropyl to each round.Let dry.Enjoy or store in dry place.(Optional: 3D print a backing to make it a little cleaner. See photo.)In my foil tests, I couldn't tell which was reloaded or original. Even so, these are cheap enough that it's questionable if reloading is worth it to you. I'm still going to get another pack so I will always be ready. "OEM loads" handle humidity much better than DIY.Pure fun. Love it. Compatibility with Vigilante makes this a huge win. Will continue buying more.

Honestly, this is the most fun I've had in years. If your house has any wasps or carpenter bees trying to ruin your summer, you 100% need this. The salt won't damage anything and you don't have to spray poison around the house. If you're looking for a father's day gift, you've found it.

The Bug-a-Salt was a really fun gift! It really works!

For the past few summers, I’ve been battling a particularly nasty type of wasp—the paper wasp. These things are huge, and their stings hurt like crazy! I’d been relying on chemical sprays to deal with them, but I wasn’t a fan of spraying poison everywhere. Plus, those sprays felt like overkill. I also tried the 'RESCUE! Yellowjacket' traps, which work wonders for smaller wasps like yellow jackets, but these big paper wasps just laughed them off. After trying a bunch of methods, I was starting to feel hopeless—until I stumbled across the Bug-A-Salt Shred-Er Starter Kit.At first, I wasn’t impressed. It didn’t kill these larger wasps outright, which was frustrating. But I stuck with it because I was at least hitting them sometimes. While it struggled to deliver a fatal blow, it did manage to stun them and shred their wings, leaving them grounded. They wouldn’t die right away, though—they’re tough little monsters.Here’s the deal: you’ve got to shoot them multiple times. After a few point-blank blasts—sometimes an entire clip—they’d finally drop. Their thick carapace is hard to penetrate, but the salt tears up their wings and eventually wears them down. Once they’re on the ground, finish them off with a stomp or keep a fly swatter handy (trust me, you’ll need it).Honestly, I wish this thing packed more punch. A bigger round or a bit more PSI would make it perfect for taking down these armored beasts in one go. Still, it’s a solid product overall, especially if you’re persistent. It’s not a one-shot wonder, but it gets the job done with some effort.

So much awesomeness

You can never have too much bug ammo. They just keep coming back for more.

Every refill worked perfectly.
