Advanced Pheromone Technologies

Advanced Pheromone Technologies is a biotechnology company specializing in the development of semiochemical-based solutions for pest management. The company's primary focus is the commercialization of a highly effective pheromone lure for bed bugs (Cimex lectularius), which was developed through extensive research at Simon Fraser University. This technology utilizes a specific blend of synthetic pheromones to attract bed bugs, providing a non-toxic and efficient method for detecting and monitoring infestations. By leveraging the natural chemical communication of insects, the company offers an alternative to traditional broad-spectrum insecticides. Their products are designed for use in residential, commercial, and hospitality settings to improve public health and sanitation. The company continues to explore the application of pheromone technology for other urban and agricultural pests.
