okay so we're late summer here and I'm
having problems with wasps getting
around my bird feeders and keeping the
birds from accessing their feed
particularly the Orioles they're
supposed to be drinking out of this cup
right here which has grape jelly in it
and you'll notice there are a bunch of
Yellowjackets around it so in this video
we're gonna compare two things that are
designed to kill Yellowjackets these are
my Yellow Jacket traps here and I'm
testing different formulas out but
that's not what we're gonna use we're
going to use the Bug-A-Salt 2.0 and
we're going to compare it to the Alucto
electric flyswatter we're gonna see
which one is most effective here is the
bug-a-salt 2.0 - if you haven't seen my
video about the Bug-A-Salt gun please
check that out we go into great detail
I've had three of these now I wear them
out and this little salt opening here at
the top tends to break off and wear out
first but we're gonna compare this I'm
going to see what it kills besides flies
we get a lot of questions will this
thing kill wasps and Yellow Jackets also
or is it just for flies well we're gonna
prove that out here are the Flies
they're dining on some sugar crystals
here and we're gonna blast them with a
bug-a-salt 2.0 - after we do that we're
gonna test it out on Yellowjackets all
the way up to point-blank range so yes
apparently it does kill flies let's see
if it kills the Yellowjackets
dramatic music builds tension the suspense is terrific
killing yellow jacket wasps in slow motion
The Bug-A-Salt 2.0 against hornets or wasps does not kill them with a single shot
using yellow jackets for target practice don't do this at home
okay so I guess we proved pretty
thoroughly that with the bug assault -
which is the strongest bug assault gun
the best you're gonna do is damage the
wings of some of those Yellowjackets but
we're definitely not going to kill them
so what we're looking at here is
electric flyswatter this comes in two
sizes this is the largest one Alecto
makes and we bought it on Amazon and the
link for it is down in the description
below it comes with batteries and it's
ready to go we're gonna go over the
details it says it's difficult to zap
flies unless you have good skill for
swing well practice your backhand a good
hunter is waiting for it to land on a
flat surface and you just need to cover
it slowly you can do that with a bug in
the wall for example fruit flies who
cares about fruit flies we're after
bigger stuff today and there's a
warranty it comes with 1-year warranty
apparently if you log in online you can
get it to you your warranty for free so
100% money back I like what it says here
in the features it says neatly and
rapidly without causing irritation to
the user you can kill things bugs will
never be a minutes again so forget about
bug bites and any bug attacking you and
your family it will kill its normal
condition if you hear a high-frequency
sound because it provides a high voltage
current keep how to reach your children
I agree with that you touch this thing
with your fingers and you're gonna get
zapped it feels like somebody poured hot
water on you and pinched you at the same
time pretty substantial so here it is
it's a one-piece thing nice and clean a
little stronger than what they used to
make this is carbon steel and of course
the wires going across here are positive
and negative alternating so when
something touches both it gets zapped
and the double-a batteries are more than
enough for it and we're gonna go outside
and we're gonna test that I'm just
showing you the details here it is thin
enough so that you can lay it right on
the wall if you've got a spider or
something and you want to kill it inside
you can just lay it over the top of it
hit the button and it's going to zap it
and at the very very least stun it so
that it falls to the floor and you can
clean it up and throw it away so it's
pretty well made I think better than
some of the past units here's the thumb
button here
the side of the handle while you have
the button to press it will be
electrified and ready to zap something
and when you don't have the buttom
button to press it won't be the double-a
batteries going to put inside here they
did come with some wear and tear on them
but the charge was full so there's also
a little lanyard that goes in the bottom
of the handle here and you can put that
around your wrist so you don't drop it
push the button the indicator light
comes on when this light comes on it's
ready to shock things don't give us the
kids they're gonna chalk each other and
here I am testing it out and snapping
some Yellowjackets and it's pretty clean
it snaps and right down it's a lot of
fun actually I have to be honest picked
one up here and it's still alive it's
just stunned and you can see its mouth
moving there so it doesn't necessarily
kill him but it definitely zaps um and
drops him out of the air and you notice
when it's laying on the grid here it
didn't give a dramatic pop really but it
did seize up you can see that he
contracted right away and you see a
little arcing and sparking there and so
if you did this at night you're gonna
see little flashes of light obviously
when you have mosquitoes or whatever
you're going to test out but one thing
we're proving here for sure
it's going to kill wasps so out here
again and trying to take out a few more
the problem I had was finding him after
I hit him
you zap them they go to the ground get a
little back in there Owen everyone's
stuck right on the racket I'll show you
that up close and there it is and while
it's on the course there it is when you
push the button you can see it seizes up
and its stinger extends all the way out
so be careful there too you can be stung
by that wasp and I just laid it on the
way the instructions say to see if it
would zap something there here we have
another Yellow Jacket right on the grid
notice it's touching at least two of
those strands and there it seasons up
not that dramatic but it certainly does
kill them
so there you go pick it up here again
the stinger is fully extended if you
touch your finger on a stinger even of a
dead wasp as I mentioned before you can
be in zapped look at those fingers
extended on these two here they're both
dead and of course I found out that
Yellowjackets are kind of decoys live
Yellowjackets come to check them out and
see what they're eating and you can snap
those two now does this electric racket
zapper work better than traps not really
but it's a lot more fun this is a
honeybee here on the clover don't zap
honeybees they're different than wasps
they are fuzzy and they're busy
pollinating flowers and they don't come
after you and they don't chase off your
birds the way Yellowjackets do so
protect honeybees kill the Yellowjackets
and of course here's a fly there's a
saying that one fly walking across you
is dirtier than a thousand cockroaches
and you can believe it so go ahead and
hit those flies with your bug assault -
when it comes to Yellowjackets
I recommend this electric racket go
ahead and get one thanks for watching
