Why It’s Time for Everyone to Salt Their House?

Salt has been used for thousands of years for various purposes, not only for eating but also for cleaning, disinfecting, killing bacteria, and even with Eastern beliefs, salt can be used to exorcise evil spirits.
You may have been applying salt in many ways mentioned above, but have you ever sprinkled salt around the house? This is considered necessary when the rainy season comes – the season when ants rush to find shelter from the water and invade your home.
It’s simple, with the inexpensive and easily accessible ingredient of salt, all you need to do is find the ants’ path and sprinkle salt on it. When coming across salt, ants will hesitate, change direction, and no longer enter your house. You can also proactively prevent them by pre-sprinkling salt around the house or at doorsteps so that ants can’t get in.

If you have a garden where you plant trees, sprinkling salt is also believed to be able to safely and quickly kill weeds. However, it’s slightly different from the purpose of killing ants in that you don’t directly sprinkle salt on the ground, as it will harm the soil; instead, sprinkle salt into water and mix it evenly beforehand. Initially, you should use a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part salt, and increase the amount of salt gradually in the following days.
Because salt dehydrates and disrupts the water balance in plant cells, many people find that this method effectively kills weeds. However, because of this, you need to be careful not to harm your plants, it’s best to have a channel to direct the saltwater to the area where the weeds are rampant. Also, remember to water the surrounding plants (that you want to protect) to minimize any potential harm, so that the plants won’t be affected by the salt.
And note: you should only apply this method on a small garden scale, easily washed away when watering the plants or when it rains to avoid long-term impact on soil quality!
