OUR TECHNOLOGY

It has been known for centuries that plant essential oils protect host plants through killing and/or repelling insects and fungus. Historically, the lower potency of plant essential oils, when compared to synthetic pesticides, has limited their commercial use.

GENVIRO developed a proprietary platform that allows us to increase the potency and effectiveness of naturally-occurring plant essential oil products.

Using this platform technology, we created unique synergistic blends of plant-derived essential oils that perfectly target specific receptors signaling cascades in the insects our products are designed to protect against. When these receptors are targeted, the insects are killed and/or repelled. Our founder, Dr. Essam Enan, was the first in the world in 1996 to discover that octopamine receptors (Enan 2001) and tyramine receptors (Enan 2005) are a primary target for many plant essential oils.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

You may be familiar with essential oils from many different industries, from fragrances and cosmetics to flavoring and spices to pharmaceuticals that treat diseases to killing and repelling insects.

BUT WHAT EXACTLY ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Plant essential oils are a byproduct of a natural process called glucose oxidation that occurs during plant photosynthesis. Essential oils are then stored in all parts of a plant like leaves, seeds, stems, and roots. The quality of essential oils differs greatly based on the region of the world where they grow and are cultivated, the weather, the type of soil, the time of harvesting, and the extraction method. That’s why we make every effort to use high-quality essential oils so we can deliver safe and highly effective products.

DID YOU KNOW? Our products strictly use ingredients from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 25b exempt list as well as natural ingredients from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s Generally Regarded As Safe and Over The Counter lists.

WHAT MAKES GENVIRO UNIQUE?

Our deep understanding of the inner workings of plant essential oils allows us to create highly effective and safe products. Our expertise also allows us to constantly innovate and create NEW products. The versatility of our technology is endless. This allows us to create custom-made products that meet YOUR needs.

DID YOU KNOW? Traditional insecticides are less effective over time because insects develop RESISTANCE against those types of chemicals. Resistance happens when mutations occur in the insects to help them survive, much like how viruses can mutate to survive. Our products stay effective because our products contain a unique blend of plant essential oils that target more than one specific receptor protein in insects. Because it’s very unlikely for insects to develop multiple mutations at the same time, it’s improbable for insects to develop a resistance to our products, ensuring that our products remain effective.
