Rock Salt for Fleas?

[No Quarter Kennel]

When using the rock salt for ground treatment of fleas, I would assume the ground needs to be wet or damp and I would assume also that after spreading the rock salt, you would water it down or dissolve it so that it goes down in the ground.

Is this correct?

I am going to add this to my chlorapyrfis treatment so I wanted to know how to maximize the use of this salt.

that's exactly what I did waited until the day after a rain , then spread the salt , and watered down the spot until the salt had dissolved. It worked great and did the job.

I started using salt around 1999-2000. I have always used regular ole fine grain cattle salt from a feed store. I broadcast it dry and let the chain work it in. This is just another way to get it done with good results.

Thank guys, I appreciate the input and will put it to work. Great rain this morning, first in about 2 months, so it's perfect timing.

Thank you!

Use the powder lime. Spread it in chain spots. Then wet it with the hose. Haven't had any problems.

That is also effective.

I spread this beneath my above-ground pens, to lessen the stink, as well as to "sterilize" the earth.
