ABOUT US
20 years of pest control
ASTARDYS® is the result of 20 years of research & development efforts in the field of pest control. Benoît Nys, engineer by training, began his professional career working for leading European chemical companies. He then created his own firm, providing pest control treatments for the textile industry. Soon after, he started focusing on the search for greener alternative to traditional chemicals such as permethrin. While searching for molecules of plant origin, he detected an excellent ally against pests : Geraniol.
Building on his success on the textile market, Benoît Nys channelled his expertise into new applications. This is how ASTARDYS® came to be, specialising in the formulation of Green insect control solutions. Benoît Nys and his team are now exploring new resources inspired by plants and developing new formulations.
