Does borax kills fleas?

Question

Does borox kill fleas? I sprinkled some all over my house as well as a solution of salt and water.

Answer 1

I don't know about borax but DE does...thats diatomaceous earth...a chalk like powder made from the fossilized remains of diatoms...google it...it is inexpensive, and if you get the human/pet grade, it is totally safe even if ingested...just sprinkle it around, where problems are...the diatoms are abrasive to soft bodied insects and will kill them...

Answer 2

Borax will kill fleas but its safer to pour baking soda and salt all over everything.. make sure that it gets into the rugs good and then leave overnight and vacuum the next day. Safer if you have pets than borax.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I thought boric acid powder was what people used.
