Bug-A-Buster 3.0 Salt Gun – Yellow & Green with Aiming Laser

The Bug-A-Buster 3.0 in yellow and green is our upgraded pump-action salt gun. Our supplier rates the 3.0 as stronger than the 2.0, and it comes with an under-barrel aiming laser as standard. This salt gun 3.0 is the upgraded model in our range, with the aiming laser included.

The two-tone yellow and green finish is bright and easy to find, a good fit for a busy household where the salt gun lives by the grill or the back door. The salt gun 3.0 costs $47.99, the same as the 2.0 models.

Key features of the 3.0 Yellow & Green Laser

• Pump action: one pump sets the spring and loads a shot. No CO2 cartridges, and the salt mechanism needs no batteries.
• Upgraded 3.0 mechanism: rated by our supplier as stronger than the 2.0.
• 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

Grilling areas, garden tables and porches where flies are persistent and you want a stronger shot plus laser aiming in one tool. The salt gun 3.0 suits grilling areas and porches where flies keep coming back.

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.

Specifications

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. Keep the salt gun 3.0 dry and remove the laser batteries before storing it.

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.

Is this the right salt gun for you?

Choose the 3.0 if you want the upgraded model with the laser included. If you only need a basic daylight tool, a 2.0 costs the same here but has fewer features. Compare every model in our salt gun buying guide or browse all salt guns. If you want the most features, pick the salt gun 3.0.
