The Future of Pest Control

Nothing Safer, Nothing
More Effective.

They Poison, We Engineer

While the pest control industry recycles 40-year-old chemistry, Applied Science Labs is engineering the next generation of bioactive compounds from scratch — bio-engineered, mechanically-driven, and built to outperform every neurotoxin on the market.

Prevention Program

Long-term prevention
with STAR POINT.

Beyond elimination, we offer the only proactive protection through our STAR POINT Prevention Program. This program prevents infestations for up to a year, helping property owners save time, money, avoid liability and protect your reputation.

Up to 12 Months Protection

Scheduled follow-up applications maintain a continuous barrier, preventing infestations before they start.

Record of Application

Each treatment includes a written Record of Application for every room or area treated — full documentation for compliance and peace of mind.

Certificate of Treatment

Receive a Certificate for every treated area, demonstrating your commitment to guest and employee safety.

The New Standard

The only company building an entire pest control 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.

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.
