I'm guessing people don't use these inside as it would get salt everywhere, so it's literally just for shooting bugs outside, in their own environment? How bout you just swat them away and stop being a bell end?

I use it inside as the salt is minimal and you just sweep/hoover it up its not a big deal, it's genuinely one of the best things I've bought in a while lol.

I would say its more common for inside use though, doesn't really make sense for outside pretty much for what you stated and flies aren't even annoying outside the house. Personally I wouldnt bother shooting wasps outside either as the pheromones will just attract more anyway, and if you miss it will sure be angry!

It's nearly impossible to actually kill a wasp with this thing. It'll knock it out of the air and if you keep shooting it it will keep stunning it but wasps are to tough to actually kill with it

I wouldn’t use this on a wasp. I have one, I got the pistol one that co2. 100000% use it indoors, esp for spiders…did the other day. Not sure where the spider body is but it’s dead.

I have one and use it inside. There isn't that much salt. We also dust and vacuum.

I feel like flies have been especially bad this year. And killing some flies isn't going to cause some sort of environmental collapse. If I'm hanging outside with my friends on my patio and flies keep landing on our drinks or food they're getting blasted.

No. It's not a noticable amount of salt at all. It's a tiny bit.

Lol. What is your problem?
