TyraTech, Inc.
TyraTech is dedicated to making a lasting, positive impact on our ecosystem for the health and well-being of people and animals. There are more than 10 quintillion insects in the world. And though many of those insects are beneficial to our ecosystem, others cause serious diseases and economic losses. To combat these risks, close to a billion tons of chemical pesticides are employed annually around the globe. And yet, we are losing the war against insects and parasites. Vector-borne diseases like Malaria and the Zika virus threaten human health. Losses in the food supply chain are a bigger worry while a growing population demands higher output and more rigorous assurance of safety. All the while, resistance to many traditional synthetic pesticides is increasing, which leads to a risk of overuse, high toxicity, and environmental damage. We believe there is a better way. We put nature to work. We believe there can be effective control of insects without compromising safety. TyraTech develops insect and parasite products that do not rely on traditional pesticides. Our insect and parasite control products enhance the well-known natural insecticidal properties of plants for formulas rooted in safety and efficacy. Our products can be used to control and repel all sorts of insects and acarids. They offer true alternatives to traditional pesticides. TyraTech has invested more than 10 years in research and development to address this challenge. Today we have the scientific expertise and patented technology to respond to the global need. TyraTech is developing a range of advanced insect control products that are safe, effective, inspired by nature and harmonized with scientific expertise. We bring products from concept to customer, across the human and animal health market segments. Our consumer and commercial product offerings represent the future of effective and environmentally-intelligent insect and parasite control.
