Research and Development
Pherotech's Research and Development Team works year-round on research leading to the development of new and improved products. No new product is offerred for sale before it has been scientifically proven to be effective.
Pherotech is the primary sponsor of an Industrial Reseach Chair in chemical ecology of insect pests awarded to Dr. Gerhard Gries of Simon Fraser University. We also collaborate with selected external researchers when there is the potential of technology transfer leading to new products.
