Flea and Tick Control In Your Home


by DoItYourself Staff

Time : Less than one Hour

Materials : Salt

Tools : Blender Broom

Tips : In Florida they charge a fortune for this treatment, an the only difference is they add boric acid to the salt.

  1. First you'll need one or two boxes of salt for a small carpeted area. You'll need four to five boxes for a large area. Then put the salt into your blender, and blend until you have a fine powder.

  2. Once you have the fine powder salt, find some type of shaker the best is a large salt shaker or a cheese shaker.

  3. Then shake the fine salt powder all over your carpet, under stove, refrigerator, dish washer.

  4. Once you've applied the salt take your broom and work the powder down into the nap of the carpet. This is where the fleas egg hatch. Under kitchen appliances for roach control.

  5. Don't vacuum for a few days and allow the powdered salt to work it's way completely down into the napping of the carpet.

  6. You only need to apply this treatment twice a year, or after you shampoo your carpet.

  7. The reason this pest control works, it dehydrates the insects and they died.
