Know before you buy
No, the device is completely mechanical. It uses a spring-loaded pump action, so you never need to worry about batteries or refills.
The device uses a very small pinch of table salt per shot, which is generally harmless to household surfaces. Because the salt is dispersed in a fine spray, it is easy to wipe up or vacuum after use.
It is most effective against common house flies, mosquitoes, and small moths. It is designed for soft-bodied insects and may not be effective against larger, harder-shelled pests like beetles or cockroaches.
The cross-bolt safety acts as a manual lock for the trigger, similar to a traditional firearm. It prevents the device from firing accidentally when not in use, providing an extra layer of security.
The pop-up sight is a fixed feature designed to help you aim more accurately at close range. It is best used for targets within three feet, which is the optimal effective range for the salt spray.
