I've used mine to dispatch mosquitoes (very challenging "on the wing"), a bee or two, and a scorpion (from a safe distance of course!), in addition to routine flies. Having watched HRK's video, I'm not about to take on an entire hive of Yellowjackets, until the 4.0 (flamethrower edition) of the Bug-A-Salt hits the market, but I'm glad I bought my 3.0 version and keep readily at hand. Not quite an "EDC", but pretty close!!!
ETA: I probably could have saved money by simply using OTC Table Salt, but I felt it was necessary to go with the "Bug-A-Salt" brand "High Performance Salt", not only because the 26 ounce container is specially formulated for maximum effectiveness (as shown on HRK's video), but also because it's "Gluten Free"!!!

No joy for us Californians. I have to ship to my buddy in New Mexico or my brother in Illinois and then have them ship to me.
I bought one of these as well and if I was going to indulge I had to get the laser sight too.
The 3.0 has a tighter pattern than previous versions and also the safety stays where you put it instead of resetting each shot. I like it a lot and seems well built.
I have killed flies and wasp, bees but could not kill the mighty cicada killing wasps, just pissed them off. Flies and skeets are easy...other bigger stuff you have to be right on them to have a chance.

We had an earlier version floating around the Reno-Stead tanker base, for a time. It was very popular. With the doors left open for ventilation, there seemed to be a steady supply of flies.
