Either finely ground refined household salt or sea salt can be used to kill fleas in your home. Simply sprinkle the salt evenly over carpeted areas or furniture and leave it be for about 12-48 hours. Since flea eggs can fall in between carpet fibers, it's best to brush the salt in for better results.
Does salt kill all stages of fleas?
The salt definitely works to fill fleas, but not in every stage. It will kill any adult and larvae exposed, but eggs and larvae hidden in cocoons can survive. They may not ever hatch if the environment is not suitable, but there is a high possibility of new fleas emerging weeks or months after treatment.Dec 21, 2020
