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.
![Fly control for cattle feed](https://pertinenteco.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/our_tech_infographic-1024x575.png)
Biological
They target neuro-receptors that are only active in insects.

-
Safe for animals, people, and the environment*.
