No you can't. The use of salt along with a mixture of baking powder and water is usually used to treat bed bug bites. A home remedy to kill bed bugs, that has worked for some people is to use rubbing alcohol. It kills them if they come in direct contact with it. But if you're looking for a safe, long term solution, it is always advisable to call a professional

Water will not kill bed bugs unless it is HOT. In that case, it is not the water killing the insect, but rather the heat. And that the heat can boil up the bed bug and the bed bug will explode.
