Used in sufficient quantity, salt is an effective weedkiller. But it is also a long-term contaminant, and in general I would beware of using weedkillers that can act as long-term contaminants, unless you are wanting to pave the area afterwards.

Going back to OP's original post, actually it would be a much clever trick to kill something temporarily.
