Banish Bedbugs from Your Garden with the Power of Salt
Salt, especially in its fine or powdered form, has dehydrating properties. It draws moisture out of the insects’ bodies through a process known as osmosis, eventually causing them to dry out and die. While salt alone may not completely eliminate a serious infestation, it can be a powerful tool in your natural pest-control arsenal — particularly for prevention and control in outdoor spaces.
How to Use Salt in the Garden for Bedbugs
✅ 1. Salt Spray Solution
What you need:
1 tablespoon of finely ground salt (sea salt or table salt)
1 liter of warm water
A spray bottle
Instructions:
Dissolve the salt in warm water.
Pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
Spray directly onto affected garden furniture, crevices, cracks in wood, undersides of tables, and cloth surfaces where bedbugs may hide.
Repeat every few days, especially after rain or watering.
This method helps repel bedbugs and prevent them from nesting in those areas.
