I haven't tried the salt thing, but I do have garlands of garlic draped over the front and back doors and around my bed. The one thing about living in East Sussex I never could stomach is all the damn vampires.
I bought a 10kg bag of de-icing salt from Lidl last winter and have been sprinkling it all over the house ever since.
Not once - I reiterate, not once - has Puff the magic dragon run amok in my house ever since.
I know he never ran amok before that either, but it's obvious that the salt has kept him at bay through the last 12 months, and I'm terrified over what I'll do when the bag runs out. I literally don't know what I'll do.
Maybe buy another bag from the same shop or something?
Oh dear, oh dear! You do know that de-cing salt, like dishwasher salt, probably contains a small amount of sodium ferrocyanide. You've been poisoning the poor animal!
(PS Just in case anyone gets worried, sodium ferrocyanide is not the same as sodium cyanide. )
It's refreshing that people can rip the piss out of the beliefs of the New Age believers with impunity, but please don't get carried away and attempt to tape some bacon rashers the door handles of your local Mosque.
I think this salt cleansing business is somebody's strange spin-off idea, based on sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which actually is brilliant for deodorising and freshening carpet, especially deep pile. You sprinkle it around (like shake'n'vac), leave it overnight and then vacuum it, and it does wonders.
You can also put a dish of bicarb in your fridge to deodorise that.
Regular salt to cleanse the energy of your house though? Well, I guess we shouldn't diss it if we've never tried it, but.....
You're lucky. In West Sussex we have to put up with hordes of the living dead shuffling around Worthing High Street trying to lacerate your ankles with the wheels of tartan shopping trolleys.
We scare them off with fireworks in Lewes. And throw the shopping trolleys into the Ouse.

Why are you in East Sussex, Grandpa?

Unfortunately not.

Edit, Beaten to it.
What a coincidence. I often spray my walls with white spirits to ward off evil lesbians.
Don't lesbians like white spirits? I swear I've seen them drinking vodka and bacardi before.
It doesn't 'repell' slugs
Which is pretty evil of salt really.:D
