ISCA Technologies

Our Mission

As a world leader in semiochemical technology, ISCA is pioneering a paradigm shift in agricultural pest management. We harness the natural power of pheromones and other semiochemicals to offer effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly solutions. Our mission is to provide growers with a powerful toolset that replaces harmful synthetic pesticides, safeguarding human health, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring a more sustainable future for agriculture.

About ISCA's Approach

We believe that effective pest management doesn't mean sacrificing the environment or human health. Nature itself provides elegant solutions, and our team of scientists, entomologists, and agricultural experts are dedicated to unraveling these solutions and translating them into innovative products. Harnessing the intricate communication systems of insects, we manipulate their behavior through the use of natural pheromones, disrupting their mating cycles, attracting beneficial predators, or deterring them from crops altogether. This intelligent and targeted approach minimizes unintended ecological impacts while effectively controlling pest populations.

Next Generation Insect Control Solutions

ISCA offers a comprehensive suite of integrated pest management solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of various agricultural operations.

• Mating Disruption: Our market-leading mating disruption technology effectively prevents insect reproduction by saturating the environment with synthetic pheromones, confusing male insects and disrupting their ability to find mates. This innovative approach disrupts the pest lifecycle, leading to significant population reductions without harming beneficial insects or relying on harmful chemical sprays.

• Attract & Kill: This strategy combines the power of pheromone attractants with targeted insecticide application. Insects are drawn to the pheromones, which act as irresistible lures, and are then intercepted by either sticky traps or insecticide-laden surfaces, effectively controlling the target population.

• Attractants: We offer a range of pheromone attractants designed to lure beneficial insects, such as pollinators like bees and beneficial predators like ladybugs and lacewings, to specific areas. This helps to foster a natural balance within the ecosystem, promoting pollination and natural pest control.

• Repellents: Utilizing the natural aversion insects have to certain scents, ISCA's repellent solutions deter pests from approaching crops. These repellent solutions are formulated using natural ingredients and offer a safe and effective option for protecting crops without harming beneficial insects or the environment.

• Monitoring: Precisely understanding pest populations is crucial for effective management. Our monitoring tools provide valuable insights into pest activity, allowing growers to make informed decisions about when and how to deploy pest control measures. This data-driven approach minimizes unnecessary pesticide applications while maximizing control effectiveness.

Vector Control

Protecting human health from disease-carrying vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and flies, is a growing concern. ISCA's vector control solutions utilize semiochemicals to disrupt the lifecycle and movement of these pests, mitigating the risk of disease transmission and improving public health.

The ISCA Difference

ISCA's integrated pest management solutions stand apart from conventional approaches due to our unwavering commitment to sustainability, efficacy, and innovation.

• Effective: Our semiochemical-based technologies have consistently demonstrated effectiveness in controlling various insect pests, often surpassing the performance of traditional pesticides.

• Economical: ISCA's pest management solutions offer long-lasting protection with less frequent applications, leading to cost savings for growers over time. Our methods also minimize the need for costly pesticide reapplication due to resistance development.

• Ecologically-Friendly: By relying on naturally occurring compounds and minimizing chemical inputs, ISCA's solutions have a significantly reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional pesticides.
