Bug-A-Buster 2.0 Salt Gun – Yellow with Aiming Laser

The Bug-A-Buster 2.0 Yellow Laser takes the pump-action 2.0 and adds an under-barrel aiming laser, so you can see exactly where your salt will land before you squeeze the trigger. This salt gun with laser keeps the hand-powered 2.0 mechanism and adds an aiming dot.

The laser dot is most useful in the moments a plain sight struggles: early evening on the deck, a shaded garage, or a fly sitting on a dark surface. The salt-firing mechanism itself still needs no batteries. Each salt gun with laser here uses 3×AAA batteries for the laser only.

Key features of the 2.0 Yellow Laser

• Pump action: one pump sets the spring and loads a shot. No CO2 cartridges, and the salt mechanism needs no batteries.
• Proven 2.0 design: the simple, hand-powered model for everyday fly control.
• Runs on table salt: the top-loading hopper takes ordinary dry, fine salt, so there are no special refills to buy.
• Pop-up sight for quick aiming at a fly on a wall, rail or window frame.
• Under-barrel aiming laser: shows where the shot will land; powered by 3×AAA batteries (not included).
• Textured grip for a steady hold while you pump and aim.
• Chemical-free: nothing sprayed near food, children’s toys or pets.

Where it works best

Evening barbecues, shaded verandas, garages and sheds where light is poor. The yellow body stays easy to find when you set it down. A salt gun with laser is most useful at dusk, in garages and on dark surfaces.

A salt gun works on flies that are resting, not flying. It is best for house flies, horse flies and deer flies. It is not intended for wasps, hornets or yellow jackets, which are more likely to be provoked than stopped. For a heavy infestation, remove the breeding source (bins, compost, pet waste) first and use the salt gun for the stragglers.

How to use it

1. Fill the hopper with dry, fine table salt.
2. Pump once to set the spring and load a shot.
3. Wait for the fly to land, then move in slowly to about 2–3 feet.
4. Switch on the laser and place the dot on the fly, or use the pop-up sight, then squeeze the trigger.
5. Pump again to be ready for a follow-up shot.

Care and clog prevention

Damp salt is the most common cause of clogs. Keep your salt in a sealed container, empty the hopper if the gun will sit unused, and store it indoors. Remove the batteries before long storage. See our guide to the best salt for a salt gun for tips on which salt to use. Before storing your salt gun with laser, take out the batteries.

Safety

Wear eye protection, never aim at people or animals, and keep the gun away from children. It may look like a toy gun to others, so use it at home or on your own property. Read our salt gun safety guide before first use.
