If your garden has been overrun by small pests like bedbugs or other crawling insects, don’t rush to stock up on chemical treatments. There is a more affordable and natural solution that many gardeners have successfully employed—salt! This common kitchen staple can help you regain control of your garden with just a few simple steps.

🧂 Why Salt is Effective:

Salt acts as a natural desiccant, which means it absorbs moisture and dehydrates soft-bodied insects such as bedbugs, mites, and some aphids. It is safe for humans, non-toxic, pet-friendly, and won’t harm your plants when used sparingly. Salt is a remarkably efficient method for natural pest control.

🌿 Steps to Use Salt to Get Rid of Garden Bedbugs:

1. Create a Salt Spray Solution

To make a salt spray, all you need are these components:

Begin by mixing the salt with water. Ensure the salt dissolves completely to create an effective solution.

Transfer the mixture into a spray bottle for easy application.

Spray this solution generously over the affected areas of your garden, ensuring that you cover all surfaces where the pests are visible.

2. Use a Dry Salt Barrier (Especially Useful for Planters or Pots)
