I have fleas in the house. I haven’t seen many but I’m trying to catch it before it gets too bad. I’ve read that each time I vacuum the carpet I should replace the bag. The bags are expensive, so I was wondering if I put flea powder in the bag would that help kill the fleas that may be inside of it. Next, I’ve read that a mixture of boric acid and salt can be used like flea powder, instead of pesticides for fleas. Anybody have any info, tips or suggestions?

I would not try it. boric acid is very toxic to animals & humans. It should only be used in areas they people & animals will not come in contact with it. Ex, behind the frig, stove and dishwasher.
As for flea powder, i don’t think it would do any harm on not changing the vacuum bag every time you use it.
Using salt is the safer bet. No using flea powder will not kill inside the bag not do flea collars. The reason is to remove the fleas & keep them from reproducing, laying more eggs & the eggs you have vacuumed up from hatching inside the bag which they will do. Find a way to dump contents of bag & seal that bag or change vacuums. The eggs are seal proof so nothing you can put inside of vacuum that will kill them & the adult fleas will simply move away from any product inside of bag.
