Our Technology
Pertinent has developed a unique combination of
eco-ffective™ plant-derived active ingredients with a new mode of action to replace traditional pest control products.
A new mode of action to improve efficacy and mitigate insect resistance.
HOW IT WORKS
Our Products Have a Dual Mode of Action
Physical
They weaken the external armor (exoskeleton) of insects, which leads to dehydration and desiccation.
Biological
They target neuro-receptors that are only active in insects.
This powerful combination means our products are
- Effective against insects that have developed resistance to traditional chemical pesticides.
-
Safe for animals, people, and the environment*.
