Also, they’re sensitive to moving shadows. As with motion sensors, if you move slowly enough, they cannot sense you. Slowly circle behind them and they jump into your death mitts.

Anyway, this has worked out better for me than a Bic lighter and hair spray. But that works too.

      Bug-a-salt is the key. It’s especially satisfying when you snipe one out of the air.

      Was going to say the same. I’ve had a few of these over the years (they’re cheap plastic and break). But they are amazing.

      I have a moth problem right now but they are no match for this. The salt gets sprayed like a shotgun blast and will get them as long as you shot in their general area.

      I also use it on spiders. Every summer I have black widows around the house and this thing works wonders on them.

      Just try not to drop them or keep the salt loaded in them too long. Those two things seem to be what has killed my previous ones more often.
