Pyrone Systems Inc., a leader in novel insecticide chemistry and pest control solutions, has announced the successful submission of its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) biopesticide registration for its groundbreaking technology, Pyronz™. This submission marks a significant milestone in Pyrone Systems’ mission to provide innovative and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional pesticides.
Pyronz™: A New Era in Pest Control
Pyronz™, a botanical compound originally discovered in plants, represents a natural insecticide that offers several advantages over conventional products. It has been formulated to address major pest challenges across multiple sectors, including agriculture, public health, and household applications, while maintaining a focus on environmental safety and consumer protection.
“We are thrilled to reach this critical stage in the development of our natural insecticide,” said Alex Hutagalung Ph.D., CEO of Pyrone Systems. “Our EPA submission results from years of research and testing, and reflects our commitment to creating effective products that meet the highest regulatory and environmental standards.”
Key Features of Pyronz™
Pyronz™ offers a range of benefits that make it an attractive alternative to conventional synthetic pesticides:
- Knockdown: Provides rapid knockdown of mosquitoes and other disease-spreading insects.
- Efficacy: Demonstrates high effectiveness against both crawling and flying insects.
- Repellency: Acts as a contact and spatial repellent, deterring biting insects.
- Resistance: Targets insects that have developed resistance to commercial insecticides.
- Safety: Proven to be safe for mammals, birds, fish, and plants in Tier I testing required by the EPA.
- Odorless: Pyronz™ is unscented, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial and residential applications.
“Pyronz will provide a natural solution to longstanding problems associated with conventional synthetic chemistries,” said Dr. Hutagalung. “The EPA’s pesticide registration process ensures that products meet strict standards for efficacy and safety, and we have worked closely with scientific and regulatory experts to provide the EPA with comprehensive data on environmental impact, toxicology, and performance.”
Smooth Regulatory Process Reflects Safety and Efficacy
Steve Bessette, Chief Business Officer of Pyrone Systems, highlighted the speed and success of the EPA submission. “During my 30 years of working with botanical insecticides, this regulatory submission has been the fastest and smoothest,” he noted. “This is a testament to the safety and efficacy of Pyronz as well as the world-class team of testing labs and advisors we have assembled.”
