Plant-Powered Insecticides

STEM is a Plant-Based Pest Control Brand That is Backed by Science

— June 7, 2022 — Tech
STEM is an all-new pest control brand that utilizes natural bug-fighting ingredients and scientifically engineered technologies to offer consumers powerful insect repelling products.

The brand's standout feature is that it makes use of plant-based active ingredients that are entirely safe for use, even around kids and pets. The expansive lineup of products includes items such as STEM Bug Killer Spray for Ants, Roaches, and Flies, STEM Fruit Fly Traps, and STEM Bug Repellent Wipes. In total, the brand is offering seven new products that are "rooted in nature and optimized by science."

"We have been hard at work developing STEM for the last few years with the knowledge that certain botanical extracts contain chemicals that naturally immobilize bugs," explained an Entomologist at the SC Johnson Center for Insect Science and Family Health.
