UF startup INZECTO has been awarded the Pest Control Products Development Company of the Year 2026 by Environmental Business Review. INZECTO designs its pest control systems around the reality that insects are guided by scent trails, humidity, shelter, and breeding cues, which can be moving targets when climate change and urbanization are factored in. Add the need to protect people and the environment into the equation, and you land squarely in INZECTO’s domain — providing selective, biology-driven solutions that target only the intended pests while remaining safe for humans and the environment.
Within these parameters, INZECTO uses insect biology to control pests, replacing broad spraying with long-lasting, professional-grade solutions that are easy to deploy and cost-effective. The startup’s solutions began in Dr. Philip Koehler’s Entomology and Nematology Lab at the University of Florida.
