I did it and it absolutely works haven’t seen a flea or tick in a month now

[doctorlefthandthread]

That's great advice as a Qualified Animal medicines advisor my job requires me to know about fleas as they are an ectoparasite. Fleas and lice need moisture to function drying out the environment they are in does work. I endorse this message

YES! We use Himalayan pink Salt and spread it thick like rice on butter. We even spread it on our hardwood floors to be sure. The beds get it as well, comforters, blankets, pillows, the whole shabang! Works like a glove.

Yes it does work! I also put down bowls of dish detergent water with a lamp (no lamp shade) in high flea areas in my house overnight, the fleas jump for the light and end up landing in the water.👏👏👏👏👏👏💃

I've used this method for years. Works like a charm.

It's a MONSTER of a problem 😫 thank you for telling us about salt. I use it as you recommend, and am seeing a big improvement. As you said, it's an ongoing battle-- sprinkle salt, leave a day or two, vacuum again thoroughly, repeat. Eventually, hopefully, they'll be gone 🙏

Thx for your honesty and helping out ❤

Also wash clothes with regular washingpowder and salt in washing the mashine, then tumble dry the clothes with half a deciliter 24% white vinegar and after you shower put coconut oil on your body and hair .. also your pets

Don’t forget to vacuum and clean out any heat vents. Lint and hair are perfect spots for fleas to lay their eggs.

Thank you, I'm doing it right now! I've spent so many money trying to get rid of these and they keep biting me, very hard to get rid of these ones 😢thanks again

If you live in a frosty climate take rugs out side where fleas will freeze try 3 days.but I have used salt and It works.

[tylermckillop]

[thefrankperspective]

Best tip I’ve seen on this platform in a long time.

[loadedfun]

Throw in some baking soda for extra measure.

[ebikeoutdoors]

Man thank you so much for this tip we are having a real problem with fleas at the moment after looking after a friend's dog now my two dogs have them cheers pal 🙏👍✌🥳

I'm on day 3 with 4 red cross salt (with IODINE) boxes spread all over...

Day 1 included vacuuming alot and then the salt treatment
-adult fleas in action...

YIKES

Day 3 no adults but the younger ones are out with a few hellos from them here and there but def not like 6 days ago where it was like a night club in hea!

does this equate to me getting to their liniage?

Multiple approaches work..make sure you vacuum sweep frequently. Also buy the 2 cheapest essential oils Rosemary and Eucalyptus if you have dogs eucalyptus is fine but not for cats. Dilute them in coconut oil and rub them in your dog paws and neck, flease just falling out. I Also put peppermint which was a bad idea on another dog and it was shaking and cold I guess that's good if you're in Texas or somewhere hot. The fleas staying off that dog also and wouldn't go anywhere near him the dog ended up not getting infested. Cinnamon and clove oils burn so you don't want to use those. also shave your dog. The life flea cycle and the eggs is a long process so you've got to attack the problem from multiple angles. Heating in the dryer is the only approach that really works for eggs and fleas but it's hard to throw your carpet in the dryer

[jacciglenn]

It sounds crazy.. but it Really Works !!!

And do you recommend using the salt as is, or grinding to a finer powder? I'm doing both ways, as not sure which is better. Thanks for your thoughts--
