I want to say that Scorpions are magnificent, interesting creatures and I would never harm one that was out in the desert doing it’s thing in its own domain, however, we have little dogs and it’s important to keep our yard free from potential dangers for all of us.
if i have a pet scorpion ya better not shoot it otherwise im usin a bug a-sult on ya
Your per is safe from me haha.
I’d kill one just for fun. Think I’ll order one of these today and see how they work on mud dobbers.
What bout spiders
I had one of those little bastards climb into my shorts and tag me several times on the inside of the thigh.. No mercy!!
Never heard of these things - great review! Now ya' got me lookin' them up on Amazon. Laughed at one reviewer who said he now leaves his doors and windows open on purpose to stock more 'game' in his house.
Thanks! I’m a big fan! Especially against flies. Lol. I’ll sit outside and snipe bugs that venture too close.
😂💀
I always complain about how much snow we get in the northeast, but at least we don’t have giant scorpions. 😄
Haha that’s not a bad trade off!
Note to self, never move to Arizona.
Haha it’s actually a cool place. The bugs are not a highlight!
Facts bro that’s a shitload of scorpions. And many different sizes that can be hidden anywhere.
Add Texas to your list. At my last house I had fist-sized tarantulas outside and scorpions inside.
That’s crazy! I used to live in New Mexico and we had tarantulas certain times in the year.
First of all, you really need to paint those guns up to look like movie props.
Second, you wanna know what else works on crawlies? 409 spray cleaner. If you don't want to spend the money for 409, shop at Dollar Tree and any of their Totally Awesome spray cleaners work for a buck a bottle or a buck for the larger refills. Some bugs don't die instantly, but they do slow down instantly. You can knock flies out of the air with one puff of spray.
Good tip!!
This needs to be fitted with picatinny rails to attach a blacklight and flashlight lol.
I agree! I believe they have different attachments for it but opted for the laser since I mainly use it for flies! I don’t get too many scorpions in the shop luckily!
Great video!
Problem of them hiding in the cracks of the brick wall or otherwise just out of reach was nicely solved with the Bug A Salt 3.0.
Zip tied a UV light on mine instead of a red light pointer.
Very effective.
I shoot mine cop style with the bug a salt resting on my forearm and the black light in that hand haha. It’s an amazing tool for slaughtering bugs haha.
Loved it. And with the new safety you can pump as many shots as need.
Basically with a full hopper you can turn a single larger than fly bug. Into an unrecognizable pile of gore. Dry up and blow away or be snacked on overnight by other bugs.
Good Bugs and Dangerous ones out there. And 3.0 delivers with close up power and destruction.
Great for insect pests. unless they are armored. But used from tip of barrel it will decapitate armor sometimes.
I’m in Georgia, home of the infamous 2021 Japanese Joros spider invasion. 70 years old, & I’ve never seen anything like it. With no known predators at this point they multiply at insane rates. If not controlled it can become almost impossible to navigate even a moderately treed yard without having to clear one or more to pass. They’re projected to spread through Eastern states at a rapid rate, so many of you will likely be seeing (and dealing with them) soon.
Last year I knocked the webs down, but they returned. They actually covered a large portion of the front of my house with often very large webs “housing” multiple large (but colorful!) spiders. Given an option, I prefer not to use a means of control that causes a slow, painful death. The salt gun looks like a perfect alternative, especially since these spiders are stationary in their webs & thus an easy target. A bit expensive though. Maybe I’ll check EBay for used ones.
Great idea to demonstrate using aluminum foil. Very effective! Thanks.
Dang! That’s crazy! It’s VERY effective on spiders so I bet you’d have no problems. Also, the reach is advantageous!
I'M DOING MY PART!
Take em out!!!
Spider walked off and later came back tied u up 😂
😂😂
Cheers from Chandler 🤘
Cheers man! 🤘🏻 thanks for watching!
Thank you
Of course! Happy hunting!
I get mine tomorrow. Glad to see you can use them on scorpions!
It’s more robust than I thought it would be!
Oh man, this will make blacklight hunting SO much more satisfying. I hate spearing or smashing scorpions (the stuff of nightmares), and it takes so much Terro spray that it breaks the bank. I can afford salt though...
Dude, it’s so much better. Welcome to 2022! Salt is cheap!
Just use an airsoft pistol
I look at these every time I visit Cabela’s, the price isn’t absurd, but just have never picked one up. I think I will finally get one.
I’m a fan! We had flies really bad this year and this made easy work of them.
We just moved to AZ 3 and half weeks ago. Still haven't seen a scorpion but we opted to have pest treatment around the house and I must say we don't see much of anything for bugs right now. I hope it stays that way as they come around every 2 months to spray.
Congratulations on the move! We live near the desert so we get them pretty bad. Not usually inside (thankfully), but as you can see, there are quite a few in my backyard. With our small dogs, I try to go out occasionally take care of them. We are behind on a spray (which doesn’t help).
@@WoodNerds We are in Surprise, which is pretty close to the desert, at least I think so. :) We'll see if we see any. We have a little pooch too so what is why I opted to get the place sprayed.
Good call! If you don’t see them now, I doubt they’ll be a problem for you. They just went through a spawning cycle and there were babies all over the place here. Get a good black light and go for a walk at night to see if you can find any. Magnificent creatures! Just don’t want them in my yard haha.
2:50 that spider said
Love'n the videos so far! Idea for a small project - A planter box for your house numbers. Assuming you only have 3 or 4 numbers for your street number you can array the numbers vertically on something like a 1x8x8 cut down so at the base you have a planter box. Maybe in that Az heat you'd put a fake plant in it, but then, I'm sure you could find something nice to place in it.
Thanks man! That’s a great idea! I’ve been wanting to spruce the front of the house up! I’ll see how it might look and possibly add it to the project list,
Well, I learned from this page that you can hunt scorpions at night using a black light. I am moving to AZ in a month or so, and I will take my Bug a Salt BlackFly 3.0 with me. Since I got it 2 weeks ago, I am now an avid fly hunter. I found they are active in the morning, and late afternoon, and they like to land on white paint in the sun. I am slowly learning their habits. I bought another brand laser to attach to it, and now I can shoot from the hip and hit those fat black flies. I go on fly hunts about twice a day.
It’s that time of the year! I have a few spread throughout different spots in my house! Got a scorpion the other day!
Just epoxy the safety on; I missed a few because the safety inadvertently came on and nobody in the history or future of the universe ever was harmed by a negligent discharge from one of these wonderful guns.
That’s an awesome solution! Definitely going to try this haha. Thanks for sharing!
If doom slayer was a bug exterminator.
Cool video! I've been wondering about getting one of these. I ended up getting two!
Thank you! I really like them! I Keep one on my work bench and one in the house!
i never knew even scorpions too. damn i am glad i bought mine yesterday :)
Yeah! I haven’t come across a bug it doesn’t smoke, although, I haven’t risked it with bees/wasps in case I miss and get what I deserve haha.
Ah, Arizona...lol. Been in AZ for 6 years. Haven’t seen one scorpion at my place in all that time. As mentioned, I do see roaches. We have lots of geckos in our back yard, they seem to take care of most of the bug issues. I still think I’m going to get one of these, didn’t realize they have improved on their design, their first models were pretty weak. Keep it up, protect your family and property!!
Thanks man! We had one in our house yesterday!!! But I think it was because we had our carpets cleaned and the doors were open for a couple hours! Better believe he got the scatter salt treatment! These will make easy work of roaches!
I have one question for you - do you own a good blacklight - if not - you most likely won't see them at all.
I'm in Gilbert,Az and even with regular treatment we get tons of scorpions. This is the review I needed, I needed to know if it was strong enough to take one out.. thanks
Same here! Of course! Glad it was helpful!
Haha AZ Represent! We've got a few mesquite trees in the backyard that we cut down and have wood piles... needless to say we have always been at war with scorpions XD
Haha they aren’t friendly! The bug a salt cut their numbers down pretty quick for us. I still find one here and there but when I started there were 5-6 a night I would wack!
@@WoodNerds They are definitely not friendly, got our dog and cat on their noses both in one night a few months ago. Now we head out at night with the blacklight to hunt them... that salt gun seems fun and effective, gotta give that a try!
Poor things! Honestly, it’s a blast. For flies as well! Scorpions are a more serious task while flies, I feel like a gunner shooting down enemy aircraft haha.
Review the range ..distance. I have spiders on the eve of my house some 8 ft away some as far a 20 .. looks like you were right up on them. Could have just stepped on them .? No being critical just want to find a gun with some distance and accuracy .. thoughts …? Respectfully RL
Hey Robin, this will not likely be lethal at that range. You might be able to get an actual pump BB gun and instead of using bbs, use salt? This one is only good for about 4’ max I would say.
That last spider took a gut-shot!!
Then ran away!
It definitely wasn’t happy after that!
Definitely headed straight for the closest spider urgent care facility. Wonder if he made it.
Those things hurt ngl
Bruh, I've been in AZ for11 years i've seen ONE live scorpion??? crazy how many you dispatched... lol... gonna get one for the flies tho...
We live on the edge of town and have them everywhere outside haha. I’ve smoked a bunch of them over the years! I think our neighbors don’t spray. It’s hard to video but it shreds flies.
Black fly version shreds anything that gets in my house tbh
Mine does as well. Smoked a big spider the other day.
This seems really messy for indoor use no? Having salt all over the place
You barely notice it. It shoots only a small pinch each time and spreads it out. I went all out trying to shoot down a fly in flight the other day and while I’m sure there was salt everywhere, I couldn’t find any to complain about.
We’ve been lucky to not have scorpions (knock on wood 🪵) but here in Laveen, we have lots of flies. I usually have to hang a couple of those liquid fly traps from the trees in the back yard to cut down on the population. Might have to invest in one of these!
It’s worth it man. Flys have been bugging me a lot this year (no pun intended). I’m surprised with how hot it is (probably something to do with the rain). The upside is it is really effective at taking out bugs... the downside is it’s easy to get distracted while hunting these suckers down after they got on your last nerve.
@@WoodNerds actually getting more moths this year!
What is the maximum effective range of that weapon?
Really depends on the insect. For Scorpions, you have to be pretty close 6”-10” or so. Spiders are pretty soft so 2’ seems to be acceptable. It’ll rip up a fly’s wings at a good distance and if you’re fast enough, you can shoot them out of the air haha.
@@WoodNerds LOL, that's what I'm talking about :-) I just ordered one. The ones on your links were out or no longer available so I bought the transparent 3.0 one. Hopefully it works as good. It should be the same as the black one you have just made out of transparent plastic.
Awesome to hear! Let me know what you think!
It looks like you use the black light when the scorpions were illuminated, is that correct? I wonder if I bought one - would it help me to find creepy crawlies.
Yeah! It reacts with their skin. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with spiders, centipedes, etc…
House centipedes and roaches are the issue in New Mexico (hello neighbor, still cant believe you were doing anything in the phoenix heat). I will likely be buying one of these. Fun video.
I used to live in New Mexico! Haha. We get centipedes and roaches here as well, not sure why we don’t see them as often at this new house though? Centipedes are right up there with scorpions on my “kill it with fire” list haha. Thanks for watching man!
I bet it would look great with a Holosun
I bet you’re right haha. Those are amazing optics!
Little tip: don’t harm spiders. They’ll actually help you get rid of flies and other bugs, and most of them do not harm pets.
Spares you some salt, time and effort 😊
Thanks for the tip Marc! And thank you for watching!
No spiders will die with the rest of the bugs because all bugs besides cockroaches are evil
DONT BE AFRAID JOHN *CHIK CHIK*
