About PelGar
PelGar International was incorporated in 1995 to develop and supply innovative and novel rodenticide and insecticide products to the global public health pesticide market. PelGar believes that, while the active ingredients used in the industry are common, the target pests and the environment in which they live are very different. Providing cost effective control therefore means that the active substance needs to be available in a wide range of formulations and this is where PelGar’s expertise lies.
PelGar International – a Global Force in Pest Control
PelGar International is the leading manufacturer of highly effective rodenticide and insecticide products, for controlling public health and agricultural (non-crop) pests.PelGar has invested heavily in regulatory support and has complete dossiers on the three rodenticide actives difenacoum, bromadiolone and brodifacoum, with a wide range of registered formulations.Operating from its UK headquarters in Hampshire and through local offices in mainland Europe, Australia and North America, PelGar provides products and expertise to pest controllers in over 50 countries worldwide. Not only does it support customers who are directly involved in controlling nuisance pests, but it also works more strategically in national campaigns against the vectors of disease.Experienced staff and efficient in-house manufacturing give the company the flexibility to provide innovative and novel products that customers really want, while retaining tight control on quality and service.
Driven by R&D
The company has a very strong R&D base, which draws on both internal and external resources. Its innovative formulation technology, coupled with advanced packaging techniques aim to maximise product efficacy against the target pest, whilst minimising any potential risk to the user, non-target species, and the environment.
