Question

I was told that putting Borax in your carpet will kill fleas. Is this true?

Hi.

Yes it is true that borax will choke out all fleas. Before monthly products like frontline were invented, busineses sprung up all over the country and made a lot of money doing just that.They treated peope carpets with a borax dust.

If you have an animal it is easier to just apply a monthly product. If you have no pets, this is definitely an option.

Please let me know if you still have questions or wish to discuss this further. I am happy to help.

Sincerest best wishes,

Terri
