Our Scientific Approach

What is Lifecycle Targeting?

At Biorational, our scientific and sustainable approach to neutralizing biting insects distinguishes us as leaders in the field. Our singular process of lifecycle targeting nullifies biting insects at each stage of their development, so they never grow to bother you. This unique practice ensures both immediate and long-term effectiveness, and a far more comfortable and safe environment than any other known methodology.

Larvae Treatments

  • Proprietary BioRational Larvicides

  • Breeding-area and perimeter treatment

  • Safe for drinking water

  • WHO approved compounds

Pre-Biting Mosquito

  • Minimal environmental impact

  • Prevents emergence

  • Non-disruptive to local food chains

  • Habitat and perimeter treatments

Adult Mosquito

  • Eliminate biting adults

  • Perimeter treatment

  • Safest treatment method available

  • “Knockdown effect” kills pests immediately

Lifecycle Targeting effectively disrupts the development of mosquitoes and sandflies from larvae to adults. By focusing on each developmental stage, our treatments provide thorough control over insect populations, significantly reducing their numbers without harming the surrounding ecosystem. Through the use of scientifically backed, environmentally sensitive chemicals, such as Insect Growth Regulators like Methoprene, we ensures targeted action that prevents larvae from maturing into biting adults.

Integrated Control Programs

Our control programs are comprehensive, involving not just chemical treatments but also strategies for source reduction and solid waste management. By assessing and modifying potential breeding sites and waste practices, we mitigate risks before they escalate into larger infestations. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining long-term control and reducing the reliance on chemical interventions.

Combatting Resistance

At Biorational, combating chemical resistance is integral to our approach. Chemical resistance occurs when mosquitoes and sandflies gradually develop the ability to withstand substances that were previously effective at controlling their populations. We strategically rotate control materials and employ alternative methods like Bacterial Larvicides and Insect Growth Regulators to stay ahead of resistance patterns and maintain treatment efficacy. Our judicious use of chemicals, guided by global health standards, ensures that treatments are both effective and environmentally conscious.
