Say Goodbye to Fleas Forever with This Kitchen Staple

Fleas can quickly become an infestation if not dealt with properly. However, you can use table salt or diatomaceous earth to effectively control and eliminate fleas in your home. Salt should be ground into a fine powder and rubbed into fabrics, sprinkled over carpeting and furniture, and left for 12 to 48 hours before vacuuming. Diatomaceous earth, a natural pest control made from sedimentary rock, can also be used in a similar manner. Both methods are environmentally friendly and should be repeated every one to two weeks until fleas are no longer present.
