Good video. For yellow jackets 🐝 🐝 my dad and I use to do the following: Two lawn chairs about 30’ away or so, A shop vac with extension cord. Set vacuum nozzle at yellow jacket entrance and plug 🔌 in extension cord back at house. Relax in lawn chairs and enjoy the show. The vac aggravates the yellow jackets and they come out in droves only to make it about 2” before taking a ride in the black tunnel of death. When you open the shop vac you will see that carnage. I’m not sure how they die so quickly, maybe it’s when they hit the filter inside.

[@DeMac10]

My shop vac has no filter I dont think, just a tube that leads to the basin, meaning I'd have created a new den for these creatures, hundreds of flying yellow jackets cooped into a shop vac. I'd probably just suck my cars exhaust into the vac at that point to kill them off

[@glidershower]

I think they die of a combination of asphyxiation and dehydration, as their oxygen intake is deprived by the massive air current flowing outwards, which in turn also removes the water in their bodies, like putting a wet rag on the intake side of a fan. Gotta hate wasps myself, lolz. Highly aggressive, can sting multiple times, they don't hunt enough pests like spiders do to justify tolerating them, have no useful byproducts, and goddamn do they reproduce like mad, _and kill honeybees, an insect that's a 1000 times more valuable and less aggressive._

I use my 2.0 on yellow jackets under the apple tree. In a few days, the jackets got smaller, and then smaller still, as I depleted the workers and the younger ones had to venture out. Most are a 2-3 hit per kill. Can kill a baldie, but you need 4-5 shots. They need to make a full auto BAS! Even more fun is the stable flies that drove me nuts on Lake Superior. They love to congregate on my mining buckets. You'll have a 5 gal bucket with 200 flies trying to warm up on it. Best shot so far has been 15 KIA.

I have all four versions of the BaS family. Although the earlier versions claim they're not as effective on the wasps etc, I have found they also work just fine. The Lawn and Garden has even dispatched small roaches and stink bugs. The Black Fly edition 3.0 is a beast. I haven't tried the official salt. I want to try a coarse table salt or even pretzel salt to note the difference.

[@FrederickDunn]

Hi Marc, I think the dust and smaller grains of salt in some other types of salt tend to gum up the loader and cause misfires. I'm going to continue my BA3.0 adventures in 2019. The "weaponized" salt seems good and won't jam your shooter!

[@MarcPipistrello]

I'll have to give it a shot. Pun intended. :D

[@MarcPipistrello]

Frederick Dunn it’s been about a year, and after further testing I’ve discovered that most effective range starts around 10 - 12 inches out to around 3 feet. At point blank, the salt hasn’t hd enough time to pick up most effective velocity. Also, the wider spread after one foot out makes for a better coverage. I have also tried kosher salt. Way more effective when it hits but the pattern doesn’t allow optimum coverage. Although I never had any dust caking issues, I can see where the high performance salt would excel.

I had an idea a while back: on a day with no wind, jab some sticks in a circle around a ground hive a safe distance away, then attach a 'fence' of plastic to the sticks and dump dirt on the bottom edge to give it a fairly good seal. Next, dump a couple of pounds of dry-ice inside the fence. As it melts, it turns into CO2, which is heavier than air. Theoretically, it /should/ sink down into the wasp nest and suffocate them. Any that fly down into the nest won't see or smell anything alarming before it is too late. Does that make sense?

Alas, it looks as if wasps and yellow jackets are still too heavily armored for even the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 to be consistent in killing them.

[@jasonmcdougal8998]

There are more effective ways to eliminate yellow jackets. The best and safest way is to locate both entrances to their nest in the ground during the daytime when they are active and then come back at night and cover both entrances with clear bowls. Leave the bowls on for about 24- 48 hours and they will all die from starvation. They will see the daylight and try to get out both entrances and will be confused and not be able to get out. This would eliminate the issue of being stung, but of course, using a great salt blasting weapon is certainly more fun. 😁

[@jasonmcdougal8998]

@@ryank7142 why do you say I'm an idiot? Apparently you are either just a troll or don't know anything about ground wasps and their stupidity, oh... probably the latter since you seem to be just like the wasps

[@jasonmcdougal8998]

@@Felisargyle they won't dig new holes because they are attracted to the light of day and try to go out to get food. They aren't smart enough to figure out that they can't get out and won't even attempt to dig new holes. They will however dig if you cover the holes so they cannot see the light of the sun.

[@HelmutDoork]

They came out with a c02 edition called the Shred-Er which appears to be much more powerful. It looks like it would take out wasps.

[@FrederickDunn]

Not a fan of having to load a CO2 cartridge. Part of the beauty of the original units is all you needed was salt. But you're right, it would kill wasps, but then so would a CO2 pellet pistol without a pellet, the air blast alone would blow it apart.

Idk man looks like u got a few hits in but damn when you dropped the gun I lost it loll sheesh that crazy but def a flame thrower next time or actual wasp spray sum that’s not gonna have you retreating, getting stung on behalf of doing another company’s free promo is wild but to each there own. Them suckers looked brutal ouch 🤕😵‍💫

[@edgarlarios4718]

I imagined this from the WASP point of view. Like A Bug's Life, with an Uncharted 4 camera. A wall of salt lines the exit what broken fragments a body parts lay. On the flight up you come right in front blows up and you know you're in for a world of hurt. LOL.

Legend has the gun is still there.

[@FrederickDunn]

and a tiny white cross with thousands of wasp stingers in it....

[@pablovargas2778]

Idk bout u but I have this gun and every time I see a wasp I just go full auto on it, don’t even use it on mosquitoes much cuz don’t see them often

[@Евгений-д1т4г]

not the best method for destroying wasps, it is easier to open their nest, run off to wait and then run up and pour them quickly with boiling water and run off. In practice, the method said works well. This is for medium and small nests.

[@FrederickDunn]

This was a salt gun demo. True, there are lots of more effective methods to deal with wasps.

[@drifter9425]

Unfortunately living on the bayou with super high humidity salt tends to clump up

[@royalbookshopper]

I think I would have set up a bait station a few feet away, which would attract the wasps. Getting them out of their nest would likely be more productive (lol, destructive!) than pointing it into their nest hole. And it would probably be safer. Plus, you'd be able to keep the a-salt weapon in your hands.

Awesome footage of the yellow jacket assault. Love how the gun gets dropped like a french infantryman. A better strategy for wiping out that colony would be to set up a vacuum cleaner with the nozzel at the entrance and just vacuum them all up.

[@FrederickDunn]

This was supposed to be a "funny" review of the Bug-A-Salt... oh well. Thanks for the advice. :)

[@basedbyway2]

@@FrederickDunnahhhh 😮I was missing that part but yea hope ur ok that they looked pissed 🐝🤕was shocked how many were in there

[@verdantpulse5185]

Poppy seeds seem to hit harder than salt in mine (a version 1.0.)

[@christopherkeillor9728]

They need to make a battery operated semi automatic Bug Assault gun with a large hopper for salt

[@porroco]

3.0 should come with co2 catrige instead of pump

[@bulletant9280]

Coming soon Bugasalt 4.0. Co2 mag

[@mailleweaver]

@@RjBenjamin353 With quick change salt magazines for fast reloads during combat.

[@FrederickDunn]

They do have one of those now. Expensive to use.

[@porroco]

@@FrederickDunn well after 5 years now they have it on the revolver

[@AreaThirteenThirteen]

We used to use coarse sand in our slingshots when I was a kid and it was quite effective from a few feet away but never tried it on an inground wasp/hornet nest.

[@FrederickDunn]

Sand would certainly work. The Bug-a-salt is designed for use in the house and around food, but I could definitely see where grains of sand outside would do the job. More abrasive than salt on windows and some other surfaces.

[@AreaThirteenThirteen]

We never did it inside just mainly going after paper wasps,spiders,carpenter bees etc.but that bug a salt sure looks fun I need to check into that!

[@grahamjonathan762]

Great video Fred, surprised the nest is still going at this time of year

[@FrederickDunn]

Thanks Graham, this didn't just happen, I've been part of the beta test for the gun before it hit the market, so I actually made this video several weeks ago.

[@That..Guy..]

If you would have ended the video at about the 4:40 mark, I would have liked, subscribed and become a patron lol. Good content lol

[@FrederickDunn]

Thanks for sharing what you might have done :)
