While the marketing for salt-based organic pest control is relatively new, Cardon Ellis of Unipest noted that salt has actually been used in the industry for decades.

“We literally used to take rock salt back in the 90s and mix it with water as a wood preservative,” Ellis said. “In the 60s, they would actually salt wood in commercial buildings to keep them from getting fungus, dry toy and from burning so fast, to keep them protected from termites and stuff.”

Many longtime pest control companies appear to be “rebranding” using terms like “green” and “eco-friendly,” when truly they’re using the same salt-based pest control methods they’ve always used, according to Ellis.

“It’s kind of funny, you look at these bottles with these salt-based compounds, for lack of a better term, and they’ll say … ‘The new natural,’ ‘The new organic,’” Ellis said. “There’s a million different ‘green,’ as we’ll call it in air quotes, titles given to some of these old products to rebrand them.”

However, a brand new organic pest control option utilizing essential oils is taking the industry by storm, according to Ellis.

“We use a lot of products — especially for ants and spiders — that have essential oils in them,” he said. “We’re talking rosemary oil, geranium oil, peppermint oil. And they smell really good.”
