BioGuard Technologies develops, licenses and manufactures safe, environmentally friendly sustained-release delivery systems for agrochemicals and biological control agents. BioGuard's broad-based solutions can be applied to consumer and industrial pest control problems such as weeds, insects and other pests, including rodents. BioGuard's sustained-release technology can be used for controlling urban insects in and around homes and businesses, protecting golf courses, landscaping, greenhouses, orchards, farms and nurseries from pests, developing specialty agriculture delivery systems, and enhancing the viability of biocontrol agents. New developments underway are focused on delivery system that use degradable polymers with improved delivery systems. For example, BioGuard's technical team is exploring ways to improve the chemical viability and efficacy of chemicals that typically have short lifetimes in agricultural and horticultural applications.
