Because spiders suck! Don't believe all that crap about the eating a lot of bugs. If that were true, then you wouldn't have many bugs. If you have spiders, then you have spiders AND bugs!
@@cheungfranklin3543 Spiders are as much of a pest as the insects. Plus if you want the effect of a spider, just put some fly tape up. Exact same effect, maybe even more effective.
So how do you account for variable humidity, gravity, wind resistance, and Coriolis effect when taking those long distance shots? Should I buy a high end optic?
I took a chance and bought the 2.0 and after sitting by my trash cans for over an hour with a few beers, I noticed my thumb was getting a blister from how many times I was selecting it to fire. Yes, I have shot it that much / had that much fun with it. You'll find yourself intentionally leaving rotting food or other perishables out just to attract flies. I'm happy to see the 3.0 has the upgraded safety! I didn't necessarily want to fork over more money for another one but I've got more than enough entertainment value out of the first one that I'm gifting it to someone else!
@@Edfiki86 Nah the most it'll do is void the warranty. Since it's marketed and sold as a toy, removing the safety isn't an issue; Think of all the nerf (and similar brand) guns that never had one in the first place. The safety is simply added by the manufacturer to improve the overall safety- pun intended- as well as to make it seem more like an actual firearm, i.e. more dangerous.
Thanks for providing the update info on the 3.0, already ordered it, but was curious what the improvements were. I will say spiders unless in my home I will not kill they eat other bugs so they are an ally.
@@user-xg8rl8zs9h only like two species of spiders that can really kill in the United States and they're the blackwidow and the brownrecluse the rest you might just get some mild irratation from the other species of spiders
That Gen III looks like an MP40! BTW: Let the spiders live! They trap and eat flies and other insects and they don't bother humans. They are beneficial.
Im glad I found this, I have probably 10,000 shots on my 2.0, with the safety screwed and permanently pinned back.... The issue was tonight somehow a wasp got in my pad, I shot him several times before he was stunned so time for an upgrade!! I hope these things get powerful enough to blast a Texas sized cockroach....seriously....flies are great, but bigger game is what I'm wanting to go after!!! Seriously....I shot a scorpion the other day and it got away, and I was craving a more powerful shot!! Hopefully this moves into the CO2 realm, I don't like spraying chemicals and crap everywhere....a larger more powerful blast of salt is the name of the game....obviously to much for a fly...but again a model for large insects would be awesome!! Can't live without my 2.0... smashing flies is disgusting....clean kill is much better!!
The 2.0 is good for more erratic/fast flyers midair with the larger spread to knock em down, but the 3.0 is stronger and better for harder bugs. (Just disassemble and remove the entire safety on the 2.0 for "rapid fire")
For somebody who hasn’t use this, it will be a lot helpful if you can mention things like loading it and how many shots per load and things like that. All the feature difference about the models was helpful thanks.
Ok. I’m with you on the 3.0, but the whole purpose is directed at FLIES! Will you give opinion on the fact that the yellow 2.0 has a greater spread...wouldn’t a greater spread increase chances of getting the fly one is targeting? Won’t be able to get as close as you did shooting the wasps. What do think?
I have those same spiders and they're definitely a pest sometimes. The way they build and use their web makes them partial to setting up right over walkways at face height. Its inconsiderate to let them stay there since someone's bound to walk face fist into them. Honestly its pretty annoying when they take over your porch too. People like to lean out over the railings, but not if there's a giant nasty looking spider sitting right there in its web (again at face height most of the time).
I was part of the beta program for the 3.0 BF. This version is a beast! I own all four versions of the BaS. I'd like to do a comparison between the Black Fly and Lawn and Garden versions. The LaG was the previous beast in the arsenal. Another move I'd like to make is by using Kosher salt instead of table salt.
True. The moment saw that they firin those spidersss I was like 😱 .... maaan!! Spider webs/spider plays an important role in invironment balance. They trap mosquitos for example 🤔😤
Wow, I just found out about this new version 2 weeks ago and purchased it with the salt and laser sight. Boy does it take out mosquitos better then the 2.0 lawn and garden edition.
Have you confirmed the kills? Just wondering as I haven't seen many videos showing the aftermath. I wanted to try using this against house centipedes - any idea if that would be effective or not?
1:08 real nice how you shot the bottom of the bottle with the 2.o and then the top of it with the 3.0 to make it look more powerfull. theu gave you one didnt they
so u can carry it around for a longer time without fatigue? take my money!! my arms get so tired from carrying around the 2.0 for a full 12 hour shift in the garden..
How durable is this gun compared to the others? Does the salt chamber clog up? I have the lawn and garden edition 2.0 actually two and one broke and won't stay cocked. I find that regular salt clogs up especially when it's humid and Kosher's salt works a little better and longer before clogging. I don't like having to clean out the salt from inside the salt chamber. Hopefully this model addresses these issues.
I wonder if sand wouldnt be better? I would think sand is less likely to absorb moisture from the air. A bag of play sand from lowes or hd should last for a decade or two.
@@coppulor6500They say not to use sand as it wears out the mechanism. At least the salt will rinse away. And don't use sugar as it will draw more bugs. I use kosher's salt in my gun. It doesn't spray as good as regular salt but the gun will go longer between having to clean it out. The salt will eventually gum up the gun. If not using it for a while remove the salt and rinse out the gun.
Thanks! Nice to know I made the right choice. Now I need some cheap salt. Morton's is to small and doesn't spread as easily! I was wrong, Morton's is great.
Spiders get a bad rap and creep a lot of people out.. but they are in fact the good guys and they are on your side. Try to get over your spider phobia and stop killing them
Ngoc Bui If you have the accuracy, it will kill mosquitos if you have the aim. Sand just jams up the gun, and when it does fire its not even as powerful.
saej kim yes it does, my first bug a salt was the lawn and garden. The lawn and garden does shoot more salt. However the new 3.0 does better at taking down mosquitos. The l&g missed them in flight. This 3.0 if I get them in sight takes them down. 👍

Pro tip.. I super glued my 2.0 safety
frischizzle that’s the one thing I hated the most about 2.0. Worst designed safety
I did also, works great
I just stripped it and pulled out that whole assembly, it left a nice spot to mount a diy folding stock

You don't want to kill the spiders because they are killing your other bugs. Save the salt for the flies.

Here in Australia I'm killing the spiders because we have red backs which can kill a man
Full auto
Thanks for showing me how efficiently it kills them spiders. Just purchased my very own SPIDER eliminator.
So are the sights good enough to legit use for hitting accurate shots? Or is it like a Nerf gun or something when the shots can honestly go anywhere.
Based on reviews, it is pretty accurate. People are reporting hits out to 10 feet, which is impressive.
Stop a'salt'ing the spiders!

Why shoot the spiders? They are capturing the flies and other bugs and doing you a favor. Stop killing the spiders.
Good review, but I was hoping to get a closer look at the redesigned salt hopper which is supposed to be more durable.
Amen. Me too. Most common complaint about the earlier models is that they broke/malfunctioned too early.
