Developed in 2024, this 25(b)-classified product effectively targets mosquitoes without harming pollinators, people, or sensitive environments, meeting growing demand for eco-friendly pest control. As part of its mission to protect 8.1 million people globally from mosquito-borne diseases, Envu is also partnering with institutions like Indiana University and BioGene to explore alternatives to chemical methods, reinforcing its commitment to nature-positive innovation and public health.

Note: 1 A 25(b) product is a type of pesticide that is considered a minimum risk pesticide because it is made from natural, nontoxic and low-risk active ingredients and is generally considered to pose little to no risk to human health or the environment. Examples of 25(b) products include certain botanical pesticides, such as garlic oil, peppermint oil and rosemary oil as well as certain microbial pesticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) products.
