Clarke Mosquito Control Products Inc

What Clarke Mosquito Control Products Inc does

Clarke Mosquito Control Products Inc is a third-generation, family-owned environmental products and services company founded in 1946 and headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois, with a Brazilian subsidiary in São Paulo. The company specializes in public-health mosquito control and operates across three integrated lines: a comprehensive products business (12+ adulticide lines such as Anvil, Duet HD, Cielo, and Merus; multiple larvicide families including Natular, Altosid, AquaBac, Spheratax, and FourStar), a services business delivering integrated mosquito management programs to government, commercial, and residential customers, and an equipment business distributing Biogents surveillance traps, ULV sprayers, and the FieldSeeker data management platform.

Core technology centers on patented chemistry and resistance management. Natular larvicides are built on Qalcova brand spinosad, the first IRAC Class 5 larvicide and recipient of the 2010 U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for its proprietary bi-layer tablet design. Cielo Space Spray (2019) introduced an IRAC Class 4A imidacloprid/prallethrin adulticide representing the first new mode of action for global mosquito control in over 30 years. Recent acquisitions of Becker Microbial Products (AquaBac/Bti, November 2025) and Advanced Microbiologics (Spheratax/Lysinibacillus sphaericus, January 2026) have built out a complete microbial larvicide franchise.

Clarke generates revenue through one-time product sales (larvicides, adulticides), multi-year service contracts with government agencies and abatement districts, hardware sales of application and surveillance equipment, and recurring residential subscriptions priced at $55-$59 per backyard treatment. Customer segments span mosquito abatement districts, municipalities, counties, state health departments, the U.S. Military, international ministries of health and NGOs across four continents, commercial properties (resorts, golf courses, HOAs), and residential homeowners served directly in select U.S. states. GTM is primarily enterprise field sales supplemented by professional training workshops, CEU programs, and SEO/content marketing.
