The need for alternative pest species management strategies is imperative - there is widespread public concern
about the impact of older unsafe chemicals in the environment and insect resistance to existing control chemistries continues to mount.

Hatchtech is an Australian company that has taken on the challenge of effectively controlling insect and other invertebrate pests while overcoming the safety and efficacy shortcomings of existing product chemistries.

The company is focussing its efforts on improving pest control in markets that are experiencing low efficacy, controversy and dissatisfaction with current options.

Hatchtech is developing a proprietary technology platform for a new generation of low-toxicity insecticides that allow the complete blocking of insect egg hatch and other pest life-cycle changes.

The products are aimed at controlling parasites and pests of humans, animals, crops and the built environment. These include insects, mites and nematode worms.

Hatchtech's proprietary products and technology act via a new molecular target and mode of action.
