TyraTech registers insect control aerosol products in Germany

Environmentally-friendly pesticides firm TyraTech announced that it has received registrations in Germany for three of its aerosol products.

The firm added that it expects further registrations for the products – Crawling Insect Killer, Flying Insect Killer and Stinging Insect Killer – to take place in both the UK and France during the coming months.

"We have started to make contact with potential partners and expect to launch in 2012,” said Alan Reade, TyraTech’s executive chairman. “These unique products will mean that the consumer will not have to compromise efficacy for safety in their home and around their family.  We are excited that we will now be able to start to build the TyraTech presence in Europe"

Almost two weeks ago, TyraTech announced first-half results that showed its revenues increased 85 per cent to US$5 million during the six months to the end of June, while its gross profit increased 400 per cent to US$3.5 million. Its first-half pre-tax loss was reduced from US$3.1 million to US$0.5 million.

TyraTech’s current partners include pest control specialist Terminix International, to which it sells a number of products, and Kraft Foods, which it is collaborating with on a functional food project.
