Our Story

Our philosophy is simple: Everyone is at their best when they are outdoors. That’s why we believe in protecting you with bug spray solutions and ideas to help you enjoy being outside more and worry about bug bites less.

Our history 

For over 50 years, we’ve pioneered science to help everyone enjoy more of the outdoors. And by leveraging the largest privately-owned urban entomology center in the world, we continue to create innovative and proven products that repel mosquitoes — so your family can have a trusted line of protection.
