Five systems. Full technical detail.

VA88 is shipping today. The other four are in development — specs, mechanism, and whitepaper references below.

Compound Library

Five Systems. Zero Neurotoxins.

Applied Science Labs has built the most advanced portfolio of mechanical-kill pest control compounds on the market. Every formulation is bio-engineered, EPA 25(b) exempt, and engineered to outperform legacy chemical treatments without contributing to resistance, contamination, or environmental harm.

Contact Interface

Residual Bed Bug Elimination System

Mode of Action
  • Contact desiccation + suffocation mechanism
  • Plant-based lipid system disrupts insect cuticle
  • Breaks down waxy outer layer causing moisture loss and dehydration
  • Residual barrier film for ongoing exposure
  • Non-neurotoxic kill pathway
Technical Abstract

VA88 exploits the critical weakness in the arthropod exoskeleton: the epicuticular lipid layer. Soybean-oil-derived surfactants solubilize this wax barrier on contact, initiating transepidermal water loss at rates incompatible with insect survival. Secondary botanical compounds block spiracle function, compounding respiratory stress with cuticular failure.

Applied Science Labs is the only company building an entire pest control compound platform on a mechanical kill pathway. No pyrethroids. No organophosphates. No neonicotinoids. Our bioactive matrix — soybean oil primary desiccant with botanical essential oil synergists — achieves what 70 years of neurotoxic chemistry could not: elimination without resistance, contamination, or environmental tradeoffs. This is not incremental. This is the new standard.
