Bug Brothers LLC licenses ready-to-market botanical pesticide formulations to third-party brands for private labeling and provides the scientific support needed to help products move from concept to commercialization.
Bug Brothers is not simply sourcing or reselling generic formulas. Our formulations are researched, developed, and supported through an integrated scientific process designed to help private-label clients move forward with confidence.
From formulation development to efficacy evaluation and regulatory-oriented support, Bug Brothers is built to function as a technical partner for brands that want product opportunities without building an in-house R&D department.
Scientific Vertical Integration
The Science of Private Labeling
Private labeling works best when the product behind the label has real scientific depth. Bug Brothers combines formulation expertise, technical testing support, and commercialization-oriented guidance so clients can access credible, ready-to-market opportunities rather than starting from scratch.

Meet the Scientific Team
Bug Brothers is supported by close to 100 years of combined scientific experience in entomology, product discovery, efficacy evaluation, and insect control product development.
Dr. Steve Sims, Ph.D.
Formulation and Product DevelopmentDr. Steve Sims earned his Ph.D. in Entomology from the University of California, Davis and brings more than 47 years of experience in new product discovery, formulation science, toxicology, insect behavior, natural products, and lab and field research. His background includes leadership in pesticide product discovery and development, including work associated with major industry companies such as Monsanto and BASF.
Efficacy Evaluation and Regulatory SupportDr. Bill Donahue, Ph.D.
Dr. Bill Donahue earned his Ph.D. in Entomology from Texas A&M University and is the Senior Scientist and owner of Sierra Research Laboratories in Modesto, California. With over 45 years of experience, Sierra Research Laboratories specializes in regulatory and preliminary efficacy evaluations, formulation evaluations, product development support, and comparative efficacy trials in urban and veterinary entomology.
Rigorous Testing Environments
Bug Brothers formulations are supported by a scientific process that emphasizes preliminary and regulatory efficacy evaluations before opportunities reach private-label clients. This helps ensure that products perform as intended and are backed by credible technical review.
Dr. Donahue describes his work as focused on testing new chemicals and devices for insect control, including formulation evaluations and efficacy trials. That testing-oriented foundation strengthens Bug Brothers’ ability to support product opportunities with real technical discipline rather than marketing claims alone.
Designed for Private-Label Quality
Bug Brothers formulations are developed for private-label use with an emphasis on stability, efficacy, and product readiness. Guided by Dr. Steve Sims’ background in formulation science, toxicology, and insect behavior, each private-label opportunity is built to balance performance, stability, and real-world use considerations so brands can move forward with confidence.
The goal is not just to create a formula, but to create a formulation opportunity that is credible, technically supported, and ready for the client’s next step toward commercialization.
Because Bug Brothers is guided by formulation and testing specialists, clients gain access to products and scientific support that reflect the standards expected from experienced entomology professionals.
Your Outsourced R&D Arm
Many brands want to launch or expand minimum risk insecticide products without building their own internal R&D department. Bug Brothers fills that gap by serving as an outsourced scientific partner for formulation opportunities, existing product consulting, label expansions, efficacy support, and registration-oriented guidance.
Let’s Work Together
Whether you are exploring a ready-to-market private-label opportunity or looking to strengthen an existing product, Bug Brothers provides the scientific backbone behind smarter product decisions.
