About Us
What We Do
ECTOGuard identifies and develops novel applications of insecticidal agents to control all lifecycle stages of human and animal ectoparasites on their hosts and in their environment.
Why We Do It
- Pests like lice and fleas spread disease and make people and their pets uncomfortable, negatively impacting quality of life.
- Existing pyrethrin-based products suffer from resistance development and are not fully effective against adults, larvae and ova leading to recurrent infestations.
- We leverage over 70 years of combined product discovery & development experience to address these issues and provide effective and safe solutions
