The Flea bleeds to death. That sounds fitting to me!
I used baking soda, course sea salt, and Epsom salt. I put it in the blender. And sprinkled it on the carpet and made sure I used the broom got it deep in the fibers.
And how’d it turn out? How long did you leave it down for?
@@Floppycats I left it down for quite sometime. I would put down before I started dusting everything. Then I would clean the bathroom and the kitchen. Then when that was done, I would vacuum everything.
@@susanbarnhart7310 ok thx
I likely hs honesty. This is the kind of guy you should call for service..
What a nice guy to tell people who might not have the dough to call a professional exterminator like yourself so you make this video...take your time and trouble to video record then edit then upload and make other useful videos on your own dime. Well sir I must tell you how grateful I am to you and your unselfish compassion and empathy. You are what is still good about this world! You ARE the change we all want to see from everyone and the only way this world can change for the better is by starting with our own attitudes about our neighbors about strangers about how we treat one another and what we give of ourselves. What is our answer when the universe puts an opportunity in front of us or in our hearts or what events take place or unfold in front of us or are brought somehow to our attention what is our response when we are asked to step up step in or step back are we defending the defenseless? Are we stopping someone from being hurt are we giving our neighbor kind words solutions and help or are we gossiping judging and thieving are we disrespectful when we talk to our spouses or our kids are we quick to point fingers and yet never think we are wrong ever..,or are we taking a step back and trying to understand someone elses point of view? Are we holding ourselves accountable . What are we taking time out of our days to do to be aware and in this moment as the Creator brings something to our attention? You, made this video for people like me struggling to make ends meet...and I am saying thank you for your kindness and furthermore letting you know what a cool generous loving kind sacrifice you made for free for anyone who might need your help...for that again..i appreciate you! So to you kind sir, and your lovely family( im sure you are surrounded by the same sweet spirited souls around you ),from me and my circus chimps lol from my same intent and goodness sincerely and on behalf of my 6 kids and 6 grandchildren who are also loving generous and kind sweet spirits thank you for being the good guys...thank you for your thoughtfulness and divided we cannot but together we can. ^_^ 😀
THANK you. I just salted the whole house even after a bomb has not killed all the fleas. I really hope this works or I just might go insane.
I hear ya…..they drop down from the ceiling onto me at night….then running all over me. I hardly sleep!
So far it does seem to. There are still some stray fleas who don't know how to die. But it has gotten a million times better than this time a week ago.
How long did you leave it down? And did you stop vacuuming?
..I used Regular Salt and it does work!!!!! Used it in my YARD too, been a month now and thought I would vacum up old salt and then re-apply. Just sprinkle lightly.
Did you leave it sit for a week??
@@hoodgurlx12 ..yes
Did it work in your yard? I'm about to do the dawn spray ....I'll try anything lol
One of very few helpful ehow videos
I just salted my entire house. My next step was gonna be to burn it down after flea bombs and vacuuming 300x did nothing.
I've tried everything under the sun and my boy KEEPS getting them🤦♀️
Also very much appreciate your short and sweet video. Going to see if you have others for the other pests in my life!😅
THANK you!!!❤ going to try asap. Appreciate your effort and honesty
Thanks, Mark!
Can I use any kind of salt or does it have to be fine salt. What about the salt in my salt grinder? Also should I put salt down after a treatment has been done? Also can I use salt on my yard to kill the fleas? I know this is an old video and you might not be able to get this post but I hope you do.
If by refined he means smaller crystals, you could put salt in your blender rather than look for a "special" kind of salt. You can make your own powdered sugar by putting it in the blender instead of spending the money on the premade stuff, too.
Awesome!! I only wish we could reverse powdered sugar back into granulated!
Great tip think I will try
very informative
If you want refined salt then put not in a blender but a small mill (like one that is used for nuts or coffee. I use this sometimes to make powdered sugar..works great. Putting salt on pet is not a good idea they can eat too much salt by licking themselves. Dipping them might be okay but sometimes salt irritates the skin. I would dip and then rinse and follow it up with one of the natural pet sprays commercially or one recommended on you tube.Remember to dilute aromatherapy solutions for cats.
Thanks!!
What do you do for non carpet floors and ceiling? Fleas are driving me out of my mind! 😳
Please help! 😢 I have no pets….fleas came through the central air vent in my apartment. Sealed it off but still can’t get rid of these things? Have floors, no carpets plus they climb walls to drop on me from the ceiling! What can I do!!!!
i was wondering were can you find argiope arauntia that spider is hard for me to fing and can you tell me were they are found give me lots of detailed info thanks kasey
the insect man collecter
Popcorn salt is the most refined you'll find over the counter. It's almost the consistency of powder. However, keep in mind that salt is corrosive to most metals. All it needs is normal humidity to your area in order to begin the corrosion process.
Thanks for this!
Do you leave the salt on without vacuuming?
How about wood floors?
Fleas don’t like coconut oil (the Lauric acid). Rub Where they are if you see any on pets.. they drown and you can get those elusive critters! And the pets love coconut oil!!
Does the salt damage the vacuum cleaner?
hi i going to try this i am going crazy with the itching an will give feed back in weeks thanks for info
@ryan banegas
Did the salt work?
I had a single 12x14 room infested. I put 2lbs that I had blended to make fine, and swept it in with a broom. Then I put another 2lbs of regular table salt (not blended) on top of the carpet. I thought 4lbs in a room that small would have been plenty. There is no human or animal traffic in this room, so I left the salt down for 2 weeks before vacuuming.
Unfortunately, all that happened was a population explosion. I had vacuumed every day for the prior 45 to 50 days. During the 2 week salt trial, there was obviously no vacuuming. They just took advantage of the break in vacuuming to multiply.
I have since sprayed Permethrin and IG regulator, and gone back to vacuuming (this time, twice a day). This seems to be working, but these buggers are hard to get rid of. I used to use Temp SC Ultra, but I think they became resistant to it.
I hope that salt works for everyone who tries it. But it didn't work for me.
Can I apply the salt directly on my dog or should I dilute the salt in water and apply it on my dog as saltwater?
will Sea Salt work?
What about fleas in the garden?
Thanks, it was to good to get advice from a professional. The question does this work with any salt has still to be answered, within reason of cause as one would imagine rock salt wont help much and Himalayan salt, well really that would cost a fortune. some have asked if Iodized salt would work I would like to know also, I would think so as the only difference is the added Iodine to the Sodium Chloride.
Finer salt is better
does it have to be a specific type of salt?, if so, please do tell, im getting very irritated with the fleas in the house.
Plain salt, aka non-iodized salt. I just bought 2 from Target.
what is the best product to kill fleas in the lawn?
it gets very bad in summer for my dogs. Granules? what type and what is the process to get rid of them on grass?
Diatomaceous Earth food grade
@@averymcdaniel423 I've tried that AND dawn dish soap and nothing seems to help. I think these are genetically modified fleas that will NOT die. Govt sponsored of course😜
@biglalways lol The passion
Does it matter what KIND of salt you use?
We are trying this. I just used regular table salt, so hopefully that works, but I salted all of our furniture and pet bedding. We are leaving for a week so we will see if it works for us!
Did it work?
Did it work for you?
@TheMina535 no when your pet licks themselves they will ingest it and get sick
The cost effective way to deal with fleas on your pet is to throw them regularly in the ocean and let the salt of the ocean dessicate the fleas.
That's actually BRILLIANT except for the fact that I don't live near the ocean lol
Diatomaceous earth! Does the same thing. Cuts into exoskeleton and dehydrates to death. Less hassle it seems
can you put salt of your pet to get rid of fleas?
We live on island and never had a flea problem till this year. We put mule borax on rugs and waiting for nylar recommended by dr will falconer. We dipped our dog in salt water and then washed her .. and homeopathic remedies!! Unfortunately can’t use eo cause of interaction with homeopathy
THANKS I GOING TO TEST KILLING FLEAS TOM, I HAD A 200 BITS HAND AND THIGHS AND LEGES, THANKS.
SALT IS PRICE LOW
Even if it does kill fleas what are you do make them do the als salt bucket challenge
no wonder I can't make enough money! fleas stole my lunch money
Salt is brilliant but also guys spray apple cider vinegar on your pet, fleas hate that and won’t go into the fur! Works wonders for me x
I've tried that and it doesn't work....maybe my boy has TOO much hair? They just keep coming back😫🤦♀️
@@JoyinFlorida I shaved and bathed my cat, did treatments on him (flea treatment on back of neck) and fumigated my home with insecticide.
They’re buggers to get rid of x
LOL xDDDD Yeah... might get rid of the cat two ;b
