Green chemistry to develop complex pheromone-based technologies designed to enhance pest monitoring and control while reducing pesticide reliance
Understanding Insect Language
Insects communicate using chemical signals, known as pheromones, to find mates, avoid danger, and locate food. Our approach mimics these natural signals to influence pest behaviour, turning their own communication methods against them.
Communicating to Affect Behaviour
Insects use chemical signals in the form of pheromones to communicate with others of their species for essential behaviours such as attracting mates, marking trails and locating food, signalling alarm or danger and aggregation/social organisation. These highly specific signals are used in insect management for monitoring and trapping, attract-and-kill, mating disruption and to support integrated pest management strategies on farms, orchards and in greenhouses.
Backed by Proven Research
As a spin-off from the world-renowned Rothamsted Research and in partnership with leading universities, our technology is built on centuries of chemical ecology and entomology expertise. This trusted heritage underpins our innovative solutions.
Simple Chemistry for Complex Problems
Previously pheromone production has been limited to a few pest types, such as moths (lepidopterans), due to the complexity of chemistry required for other pest targets. Our technology simplifies the creation of complex pheromones, unlocking new pest management strategies for broad acre, orchard, and greenhouse applications.
