The Science
The Science Behind Mechanical-Kill Pest Control
No pyrethroids. No organophosphates. No neonicotinoids. Applied Science Labs builds bed bug control on a mechanical kill pathway — elimination without resistance, contamination, or environmental tradeoffs.
This is not incremental. This is the new standard.

The Evidence
How we know it works: near-instant contact kill, a 90-day residual study, electron-microscope proof, and 12-month field trials — with sources.
