Our Story

Who we are

My background in chemistry—particularly in aerosols, liquids, and baits—is a key strength.

PPDL was founded by a lifelong pest management innovator who believes that great products emerge when science and marketing work hand in hand. After earning degrees in chemistry and marketing, our founder spent years at Whitmire Research Laboratories (now BASF) developing next-generation pest control formulations and application systems. Later, as Head of R&D for Senoret Chemical, maker of the TERRO® brand, he oversaw the creation of packaging and bait delivery systems that continue to sell millions of units each year.

Industry Leadership

We serve on the Board of Directors for the National Conference on Urban Entomology and the Invasive Pest Ant Association, keeping us at the forefront of research, regulation and emerging pest trends. We collaborate regularly with top entomologists at leading universities and maintain close relationships with regulators, toxicologists, package designers and marketers—so our clients benefit from a broad network of expertise. 

Communicating Science

One of our core strengths is translating technical details into language that resonates with diverse audiences. Our library of “how to” videos, watched by thousands of professionals and homeowners, proves that complex pestcontrol concepts can be explained clearly and engagingly. When you work with us, you’re not just getting a consultant—you’re getting an educator and advocate for your product. 

Commitment to Compliance

Misinterpreted guidance on labels or efficacy claims can derail a project. We have deep knowledge of FIFRA, EPA regulations and state registration requirements, so we can help you avoid costly delays and get your product to market smoothly.
