The Easiest Way to Clean Up After Your Bug-A-Salt
By Nick Corona, founder of Every Holder · June 19, 2026
Love your Bug-A-Salt but hate scooping up the dead flies? Here's the fastest, least-gross way to clean up after a hunt, no paper towels required.
A Bug-A-Salt makes killing flies genuinely fun. The part nobody loves is what comes next: a dead fly on the windowsill that you now have to pick up. Grabbing a paper towel, pinching it, and washing your hands takes longer than the shot did.
The problem with the paper-towel method
Flies land in awkward spots, on the sill, behind the sink, on the floor by the baseboard, and once they're down you have to go find something to pick them up with. Miss a spot and you find it later. It's the one friction point in an otherwise satisfying process.
A faster way: scoop and toss
A scoop attachment mounts on the front of your Bug-A-Salt so cleanup is part of the same motion. Take the shot, tip the scoop under the fly, lift, and walk it to the trash. You never touch the fly and you never go looking for a paper towel.
- No touching the fly and no paper towels.
- Collect the carcass in one motion, right where it landed.
- Clips on and off by hand, nothing permanent.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
- How do you clean up dead flies from a Bug-A-Salt?
- The quickest way is a scoop attachment on the front of the gun. After the shot, you tip the scoop under the fly and lift, so you never have to touch it or hunt for a paper towel. Otherwise you're pinching it up by hand or sweeping it off the counter.
- Is cleanup messy?
- A single shot uses only a pinch of salt, so the mess is mostly the fly itself. A scoop lets you collect the carcass in one motion and drop it in the trash, which keeps counters and windowsills clean.
- Does the scoop attach without tools?
- Yes. It's designed to clip onto the gun so you can add or remove it by hand, with nothing permanent.
