How To Eliminate Fleas With Salt | Does Salt Work Against A Flea Infestation? 

I did try this I used salt all over my floor and left it for 2 days I wasn't getting bitten anymore

why did god make fleas!! Hate them dealing with them now pure hell.

Baking soda + Salt. Sprinkle on carpet then wait 12 hours before vacuuming. This will kill the eggs as well.

He should be charged with a salt!

Some company needs to make tiny robotic flea killers that we can buy by the box - just open the box, input simple instructions to the collective and let them loose to hunt throughout the house.

I had flees. I knew salt would kill them. My place was covered in salt including my bed. For 2 weeks I lived in salt. I have never had a problem since. However cleaning my vacuum was hard work.

I think they may have suffocated. You gotta redo it, in a breathable container Encore! You crack me up

"I want you to feel the pain that I been feeling. Lack of sleep! Depression...all that stuff!" Hahahaha yes! I don't even have pets. But people around me in my apartments do and walk their dogs in all this mulch right out front so I must have tracked them in. 2 days ago i see some tiny black bugs jumping on my arms and feet and concluded it was fleas. I have been experiencing a ton of anxiety because it's annoying as fuck. I can't relax in my own home due to some shit beyond my control and I'm pissed! I hope all this stuff works. I can't live like this! I feel like I'm being punished for something I didn't do! This sucks!

They jump. I've found, that if you sprinkle salt on your carpet, fleas move up. Into furniture, a dogs back, coffee tables, they find ways to avoid the salt in open areas. It's still a good step to preventing fleas. But one must be more diverse if fleas are to be rid of.

when I leave this realm and stand in front of my saviour I'm going to ask HIM what purpose do fleas and ticks serve!

Of all the useless video's on here, this is the best video yet!!!!!!! So simple and it actually works.. brilliant..❤🙏🌍

This is making me itch just watching it. When you said you felt a flea on your leg, caught it, and put it in the bag FOR SCIENCE--rather than kill that pesky thing--, that made me laugh out loud. Great video. Thumbs up.

Me and my daughters love your video it was hilarious we kept rewinding to the part where u told the fleas u wanted to see them suffer like you have causing u sleepless nights and depression lol so funny because I feel your pain I am dealing with fleas now its so gross n itchy !!!!

Fabuloso lavender works well in a spray bottel deluted. On floors etc. Not on pets

I wonder if they just suffocated

I got fleas several years ago and tried the salt. I used quite a bit but it worked.

Thank you! I appreciate the time you took to do this. ❤

😂😂 they be hurting me too so they need the pain too I can't even sleep in my room cause of them fleas

Cool, I'll stuff all the cats in a garbage bag tonight and dump 5 lbs of salt in

Love it!! We have had a long battle every year to kill these with out harmful effects to my children and pets! We almost got rid of the cat because my 6 yr old loved her cat but the fleas would nest in her hair! But now, I don't have to break her heart, thank you so much!!

if you have hardwood floors make sure you brush salt into cracks where boards meet, flea eggs often r in cracks. the salt on floors and carpets is good to kill eggs not adult fleas. you have to leave it down for a week without vacuuming. vacuum then resalt

The water and dawn with small light on the floor works amazing to catch and drown them.

Im definitely going to try this method sprinkle salt all over my carpit im fed up of being bitten scratching

I used salt when my two cats were suffering with fleas. I sprinkled the salt all over the carpet and bedding and other soft stuff and with in a week they were all dead. I think most of them died with in four days. After a week I vacuumed them all up and never had fleas again. However, don’t sprinkle the salt when it’s raining or wet unless you close all doors and windows. The carpet by the patio door was soaked for days.

“ Lack of sleep , depression , all that stuff “ 😂😂 I cracked up . No but fr I been having anxiety I been praying for a miracle cuz it’s so stressful dealing with these obnoxious creatures

Two words.. Coconut oil. . 5 minutes and they are dead. Salt may be a good area treatment. .but on pets massage fur with coconut oil.

Just a note Salt on any cement or mortar/grout will quickly cause a problem. The salt will eat right thru and you will lose your mortar

I have used a combo of salt to equal parts baking soda; leave overnight then vacuum. Used a flea trap to verify any fleas left in area...gone.

That’s a lot of salt for two fleas

Salt and baking soda helps a lot solved my flea problem

Just had an outbreak of fleas on my cat. Did everything the Diatomaceous Earth all that stuff it works but what I found out is that 90% rubbing alcohol kills them like instantly. What I did was I put some alcohol in a spray bottle do not spray your eyes or breathing the fumes but it definitely works if they're on you you just start spraying and then you kill them all good luck later

These creatures invaded my house and caused so many scratch marks on me and my daughter's skin. Really itchy and depressing!

Fleas are so bad this year I bought revolution drops for three months for my dog and two cats and the fleas did not die they are worse then they ever have been I’ve been combing all my pests daily and vacuuming everyday washing everything and steam cleaning still nothing is working I hope salt works mix it with baking soda and sprinkle it on them and around the house I’m just at a loss for what to do

Me 2!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate fleas 2!!!!!

now just capture each and every flea and put it in a large bag of salt. Genius!

It's been my experience that fleas are calculating. They actually attempt to outsmart me. And most times they are successful. Suffice it to say, I hate those little mothers.

If you have fleas outside your back yard you can wash down your yard with Palmolive dish soap and water it down so all the dish soap is all over where the fleas are located.

I bust out laughing when you said you wanted them to suffer

Salt is particularly effective against flea larvae. Food Grade DE impacts all of the life stages of the flea. DE is very sharp and cuts the exoskeleton of these beasties. The ideal mix would be salt flour (very fine salt used for popcorn and such), baking soda, and food grade DE. This is particularly effective in carpets and rugs as it gets down deep into the carpet backing and pad. I just ordered some ALPINE WSG to spray the floors and the foundation of the house with. I intend to use this in combination with this three way mix on the carpets. The key is to vacuum every day or two after application of these treatments. The Alpine product is effective for 3 months, which is how long it takes to stop the life cycle of a flea population.

If you use diatamacious earth inside your house you should use the food grade around people and animals.

I use salt and spread it all over the house. they die slowly because of dehydration. i leave it for 12 hrs and vacuum clean.

The salt has to be more fine. Like a powder to do a better job. Well so I hear so take the salt crush it up some more, add baking soda let it sit then vacume. Repeat repeat repeat. I hate blood suckers, ticks, fleas, mosquitos, bed bugs, lice and even leeches. Did I miss any?

We had them from a cat them kept coming into our house. Cut a long story short I went to war in them and won. Sent my son to the market to buy as many lemons as possible he brought three create fulls about 180 lemons. We squeezed the juice from each one, we kept the lemons and distributed the shells all over the house. Next went to the industrial wear house and brought 5 10lb bags of salt. Took all our clothes bagged them up in black bags and left them outside in the sun to boil heat kills them. Washed the floors with the lemon juice it was sticky, when it was dry we emptied the bags of salt out and swept it around the house, in our beds ( we slept on salt) rubbed it in every inch of the carpet with scrubbing brush to really in the fibres. All the curtains were bagged same as clothes in salt and dumped in the garden under the sun. We lived like this for 14 days and yay they were gone it was hard work and horrible to clean up salt everywhere but we did it. That cat is no longer allowed in the house and just to add I don’t have any pets never did have.

You won't see a lot of fleas as long as you have a "host " It's when you lose the host that you have to worry about an infestation. And, just how long will it take to catch them four fleas at a time to get rid of them?

LOVING IT. GET THEM ALL.

I wonder what will happen if you actually make salt water and put the fleas in it will they die a little bit quicker or slower can you do a test on that

"TIP" I've worked with stray animals and rescues for 26 years and for 21 or 22 of them years each stray animal that comes in is sprayed with a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar ( 6 or 7 oz) 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda mix that together pour onto spray bottle then add 2 to 3 spoon full of warm water shake well spray on animals. CAUTION , be aware your pet might be allergic so start off slow

So in order to kill fleas in your house, you would need about 400-500 pounds of salt to cover the whole floor. You need to try the same experiment using just a minute amount of salt in the bag because that would actually mimic the amount of salt you would be sprinkling on your carpet.

I grind salt in a coffee grinder to make it powdery so the salt sticks better to fleas. I mix the ground up salt and baking soda and sprinkle on carpets, etc. If the salt grains are too big like what he used on this video, it doesn’t stick to fleas well and it takes much longer for fleas to die.

I like how he ask us "Do you believe this crap"? Lol!

I, want something that kills flee fast not twelve hours from now.thanks for sharing with us.

I bathed and treated the cat with capstar and for the house I made a mix of Salt, Bi carb soda, and Baking powder then I sprinkled it throughout the house then immediately vacuumed it plus cleaned almost everything I can see with my eyes and re washed clothing in salt plus apple cider vinegar, Omg just writing it I remember my exhaustion, I can't do anything else until payday in 3 days. I obviously didn't wait long enough but I have gotten rid of at least 90% and the cat hasn't gotten any but will probably be re infeasted if I don't get him a monthly treatment bc capstar is Just for live fleas Not There eggs, papue or ticks. The joys of being a pet parent, Still wouldn't change it though.

Food grade diatomaceous earth is the best against bugs. Its made of microscopic sharp crystals which penetrate the bugs and dryes them out over time. So once they touched it, its over. (takes days thoo)

BORAX KILLS FLEAS PUT ON CARPET OVERNITE VACUM can also wahs pets with it

I got a kitten and the woman we got her from said she didn’t have fleas. Well that was a lie so now my poor old dog has them too and we keep getting rid of them but they won’t go away. Now they’re like in a bunch of furniture and we hoover and everything but I swear it’s doing nothing. I told my mum it was a bad idea to get a kitten off of a woman on Facebook. I swear to god if she doesn’t get rid of them soon I’m moving in with my nan

GREAT vid 🖒 i been using salt in carpet to battle fleas. It seems to be working 😃I hate those friggin fleas😠 thanks for posting ✌

Salt works if you can stand leaving it on your hardwood floors linoleum floors in your carpets for at least three days, it works. After that, I walked around my house the whole time with White Sox so they would leave on those ansd I would know how many I have. I bought assault mine. 😅 3:34 3:34

One lady said coconut oil on your cat kills fleas, and when they lick their fur I think I heard the coconut oil kills the intestinal worms cats get from the fleas. Your cat will look like a porkeypine for awhile though.

Wonder if spraying pets with salt water will repel them off and kill the eggs

I thought I had bed bugs but turns out it’s fleas! Found one one my thigh thought I was a piece of lint but nope it was a flea! Lost hours of sleep because these suckers. I’m moving out in 2 weeks hope they will be gone!

I'm dealing with fleas as well, but I will say that even tho the fleas are killing me, some of these comments are giving me a longer life because yall got me rolling.

Hey bro thanks for doing this vid hence confirming what I’ve been wondering for a while great stuff 👍🏾

Also if you have a dog chained up by your house they'll find away to get in as well. Moving the dog to the back yard and then treating the dog helps keep them out of the home‼️👌🏽👍🏾👏🏾💯

I bought one of those electric shock flea combs. They are so cool to watch the fleas get executed with shocks.

I hate these monsters! All along I thought it was bed bugs that were biting me but it wasn’t. My feet/ankle looks so ugly because of these monsters 😩😩 They’re so hard to kill to I’d be squishing the heck out of them and when I open my fingers or napkins that little thing would just jump away 😡 they like to hide in my blankets and around my bed. I tried the dish soap with water in a bowl but sadly that one didn’t work for me. I caught two annoying mosquitos that’s been biting me to instead. Gonna try this method next to see if I can get rid on these monsters.

thank you for this video I got some satisfaction I'm sick of these fleas my cat just passed away but left fleas I was using Frontline Plus it did not work obviously but I've been salting the floor and vacuuming it up after a couple days I'm like you I get a thrill seeing these fuckers suffer

I'm actually happy seing flea suffer, they damaged my skin😢

"Youre gonna feel what I've been feeling! lack of sleep! depresson!" lmaooooooo!!! Great video! Next see if a salt scrub is safe for dogs. like it wont dry out their skin or nothing...

But those fleas at no choice but to stay in the bag with the salt. I wonder if it would have the same effect with a flea just jumping quickly on the salt and getting off of it? Thank you so much for doing these experiments. It's very good to know what works and what doesn't!

Cool clip!!! I'm about to start a flea circus!!!

This guy is doing god's work

Take into consideration you had the perfect enviroment to kill those fleas and it took that long. Now there is now way you can pile up that much salt all over every square inch of your carpet so they can just jump away from the salt to where there is none.Not sure but maybe it will work.I have to try, got them things bad and my cats got them too even with coconut oil.

I put salt down in every crevice in my apartment. The salt caked and hardened, and the fleas still kept breeding. What do you suggest?

How long did it take you to eradicate them? I started noticing bites last week and thought they were just spider bites then thought bed bugs, every morning I would wake up with a new one. Then this weekend I wore long white socks and saw a big crawling on it, I swatted it but it jumped and I knew I had a flea problem. That day I spent 5-7 hrs cleaning our apartment, it’s not that big (1bd 1ba) but we have a lot of stuff and i guess the vibration irritated the fleas and they bit the crap outta me, I would sit on the sofa and I felt bites ALL over, what’s wierd is that my wife doesn’t have any and we don’t have pets lol. I went to Home Depot and bought the black flag spray, flea fogger, salt, and DE. I set the dawn soap with a LED night lamp in the living room and caught only 1 flea, I then bought the Terro trap and set it in the living room and I saw nothing, I put the water solution under light next to my bed stand and still nothing. The process of fogging was very tiring since we had to bag up a lot of stuff, we fogged the apartment yesterday and vacuumed but only saw 2 live fleas, but was still getting bites. I sprinkled salt all over the corners of the apartment and used DE (food grade) under the mattress frame, under the sofa, rug, and front and back porch door mat. This is going to be a long and hard battle as these pesky fuckers have many hiding spots. I bought ultracide aerosol can from a pest control compnat through Amazon, haven’t used in on the carpet just yet. Any other tips or tricks to get rid of these guys? I know pest control companies will spray your whole apartment and it’s expensive but it might only be for a short time before the fleas come back.

Had them bad once spent a thousand dollars on exterminator bought a house that was infested nothing worked until a friend came over with flea powder and brushed it in all my carpet with a broom they were all gone after that. I did the yard 3 times a year with dawn dish soap squirted it everywhere and hosed it down then salted the outside about a foot perimeter around house didn't have a flea for 22 years until now I just bought a new house so here I go again.

Yeah and I've subscribed! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm having issues with fleas....I put salt on mY carpet...I hope it works

I did the same exact thing and after a whole week in the sealed baggy exposed to the salt and my fleas are still alive! But how? Why is nothing killing the fleas in my house?

Try lavender oil and orange oil, they sell sometimes in pharmacy store. Drops of both on a scarf or handkerchief and they say tie it to the dog loosely around his collar after putting drops on it. Does this defer flies from getting on dogs outdoors? Try putting it on video if you find the oils and see what happens or in a plastic bag. This is known to rid roaches also as they dont like lavender. Hmmm, I wonder and would like to see what happens.?????

think they didn't die by salt but by Suffocation lol over 9 hrs damn lol

A tip I haven't seen on any flea removal videos: If you see a flea on your socks or anywhere, grab a 1- or 2-inch piece of regular Scotch tape and cover the flea with it. Then pull the tape back a little bit and use another piece of tape to carefully trap the flea between the two pieces. Be careful -- it will try to jump out as you do this. If you catch it successfully, you can just throw it in the trash. However, I bought some stuff called WonderCide spray this evening (suggested on another flea removal video) and test-sprayed a section of baseboard next to where our cat likes to sleep. It was like the main hiding area for the fleas. That was five hours ago, and I've only seen one flea (on my sock, caught with tape, which is now in the trash bin). So once I spray kitty and the house tomorrow, think I'll be well on my way to winning this battle. By the way, I didn't see WonderCide at the big pet supply stores online in the Detroit, Michigan area, like Pet Supplies Plus, so you may need to go to Google and search "WonderCide where to buy" to find it at a ton of smaller pet supply stores. Wishing everyone success! THANK you, Jay, for your experiments! You are keeping me sane during this frustrating time trying to win the war against fleas!

I suppose though when you just sprinkle the salt around they can just jump away from it 😕 It’s not like you can encase them in salt like that in your clothes ect . But I spose salt may repel them anyway .. that’s something helpful

If you get capstar and give it to your animals within 30 minutes the fleas will fall off your animals dead. You can give them capstar everyday it doesn't hurt them In the mean time you have to take out all bedding and blankets anything they sleep on out of your house. Then get Raid flea bombs in the purple box 3 in a box there 14.95 you can not step this step it's very important and you need one for room in your house. Read the directions. Take your animals out and go back in and set the bombs off and leave for 3 to 4 hours. Come home one person go in and open windows to air out. Then take animal in.Then come back and sweep everything. Your can either wash bedding and blankets in hot water or shake them off out side really good and take them back in the house. Keep giving capstar every day or what ever you can afford and you will have to do this in 3 weeks because that's when the flea eggs hatch. And you have to do this every 3 weeks till they are gone and put a monthly flea protection on your animals neck from the petsmart pharmacy or a vet pharmacy do you not buy flea protection from grocery stores or Walmart they are the poisonous ones and don't work. This does work but if you slack off you will regret it. I'm actually doing this to my daughter's house that have 3 cats. It took me 50 years to find what works. I know this works positively works. Don't step or wait longer because it will not work. Good luck

If they jump to get away from salt or baking soda then does that really work? They would be moving away from the salt ..right?

Imagine the flees trapped in there were playing dead and they got all out of the bag lmaoooo

It does work but takes well over a week...not 5 days

I feel your pain man.

2:57 same here bro, I am also enjoying those suckers having pain when they ruin my sleep then my entire day goes like hell. no function.

Seriously go to the vet and get some Nexgard, $30 a month and you're done with it

I salted all of my carpet and used lavender oil with water in a spray bottle for everything else, supposedly fleas don't like the smell of lavender. They also don't like the smell of cinnamon. Aspercreme with lidocaine or any pain relieving cream with lidocaine works great on flea bites, it numbs the bites so they don't itch. Vaporub works great on mosquito bites but not flea bites, it will make mosquito bites disappear in a couple of hours.

I had so many fleas ( 3 cats) that I had to wear cowboy boots around the condo!! Want to know how I beat them ?? They are really attracted by movement, so I wore a pair of felt slippers around the condo all the time . The little bastuurds jumped right on and they thought they'd latched onto a cat, so they would stay on the slipper as I shuffled around . Then after a while I'd go outside and just shake them all off.( or pick them off) The cats were flea powdered and flea powder was applied around the edges of the walls also. One week later...no more fleas!!

WATER GETS THEM FASTER (SECONDS). MAY THEY ALL DROWN IN HAPPINESS. GOOD ADVICE THOUGH.

Eww My Shih-tzu catches fleas from the other neighborhood dog's I know the pain

Use tape to catch them then fold them in.

My dog recently got fleas T^T wish me luck

If you use Borax can you leave the Borax for carpet can you leave it on for 2 weeks that should cover the life cycle of the Fleas and if you have a spray that kills fleas if you use both will that get rid of the fleas and can you leave the borax on indefinitely under a bed or couch

I will revenge my legs. Just sprinkled loads of salt down so fingers crossed

Can you do a video with Ajax powder , to kill the fleas, I have not seen one video , with Ajax , to kill the fleas .. thank you ..

Sodium Chloride (salt) & Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) asphyxiate fleas/insects is all. This is why you can *evenly* spread over your entire carpets, furniture, & corners in an infested room to rid of all the flea eggs/larva too. A nice repellent before bedtime is to make a paste out of soda and either lime juice or apple cider vinegar, then spread over ankles/waste/neck. Also reacts with flea saliva so will relieve itching! 😎

Going to use this to make sure all is gone. I used hot water and a carpet cleaner, which I did, not recommend to others, and this seemed to do the trick if any were in the carpet, and used steam cleaner on the furniture.
