Mission
Help families manage insects in and around the home without using toxic chemicals that could present an even bigger harm to families.
We are looking for insect control technologies that:
- Are non-toxic to people and pets
- Kill on contact
- Create barriers
- Can be used Indoors and outside the home
- Will not impact beneficial species (such as: bees, fish, butterflies)
- Have a clear point of distinction versus current market alternatives
Ideal solution will:
- Deliver a competitive advantage versus existing/known technologies
- Have IP protection (granted or filed patent applications are preferred), know how, trade secret, exclusive agreements or some other form of business protection
- Have experimental evidence of efficacy
- Use ingredients from the FIFRA 25b exempt list (Non 25B are less preferred but also acceptable.)
- Have a unique form or formulation
