Salt works by dehydrating pests, causing them to die. It can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the type of pest you are trying to get rid of.

Here are some specific tips for using salt to get rid of pests:

  • Ants: Sprinkle salt around ant trails and nests. You can also mix salt with boiling water and pour the mixture directly on anthills.
  • Fleas: Sprinkle salt on carpets and furniture. The salt will help to dehydrate the fleas and their eggs. You can also make a salt solution by mixing 1 cup of salt with 1 gallon of water. Spray the solution on carpets and furniture.
  • Lice: Sprinkle salt on the hair and scalp of people or pets with lice. The salt will help to dehydrate the lice and their eggs. You can also make a salt solution by mixing 1 tablespoon of salt with 1 cup of water. Apply the solution to the hair and scalp with a spray bottle.
  • Ticks: Sprinkle salt around areas where ticks are likely to be present, such as wooded areas and grassy areas. You can also make a salt solution by mixing 1 cup of salt with 1 gallon of water. Spray the solution on areas where ticks are likely to be present.
  • Snails and slugs: Sprinkle salt directly on snails and slugs. The salt will dehydrate them and kill them. You can also make a salt barrier around plants that snails and slugs like to eat.
  • Termites: Mix salt with water to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to any areas where termites are active. The salt will dehydrate the termites and kill them.
  • Raccoons: Sprinkle salt around areas where raccoons are likely to be present, such as garbage cans and compost bins. The salt will deter raccoons from entering these areas. You can also make a salt solution by mixing 1 cup of salt with 1 gallon of water. Spray the solution around areas where raccoons are likely to be present.

It is important to note that salt can be harmful to plants and the soil, so it is important to use it in moderation. You should also avoid using salt around pets or children.
