Proviv is a privately held biotech/agriculture company based in Santa Monica, California. It develops natural and affordable pheromone products for usage in pest control and crop protection. The compounds elicit non-lethal, species specific insect control through disrupting mating cycles, thereby resulting in lower insect pest population and less crop damage and losses.
In April 2018, Provivi announced its U.S. EPA registration approval for its first pheromone active ingredient, Proviv Z-9-Tetradecenyl Acetate, and also its first end-use product, Provivi FAW Dispenser. In November 2018, the company announced a multi-year supply agreement for its pheromone based pest control products with a leading agriculture company.
