Your Outsourced R&D Arm: Professional Grade Formulations Without the Lab Overhead.

In-house laboratory research and pesticide formulation development by Dr. Sims and Dr. Donahue at Bug Brothers LLC

Researched, developed & produced in-house

Every ready-to-use formulation is an original product of the Bug Brothers lab, overseen directly by Dr. Sims and Dr. Donahue. This eliminates "middle-man" quality concerns and ensures technical ownership of every formula.

Built for Private-Label Brands

Bug Brothers provides formulation opportunities for companies that want to launch, expand, or strengthen minimum risk insecticide product lines without building a full internal R&D team. Our licensing model helps clients access technically supported formulations that are ready for private-label commercialization.

These opportunities are backed by formulation expertise, efficacy evaluation support, and regulatory-oriented scientific guidance, giving clients more than a formula alone.

Unlike generic formulas, Bug Brothers products are engineered by formulation experts specifically to be stable, effective, and ready-to-use upon arrival.

The Science Behind the Formulations

Bug Brothers formulations are positioned as more than off-the-shelf formulas. The company’s approach is grounded in scientific vertical integration, with formulation development, efficacy-oriented support, and commercialization guidance working together to help clients move forward with greater confidence.

This scientific backbone is strengthened by the expertise of Dr. Steve Sims and Dr. Bill Donahue, whose combined decades of work in entomology, formulation science, product discovery, efficacy evaluation, and regulatory-oriented support help distinguish Bug Brothers from generic private-label suppliers.

Think of Bug Brothers as your brand’s scientific advisors in innovation and quality assurance.

WHY Clients License Through Bug Brothers

Don't just buy a formula; buy a validated solution. Every Bug Brothers product is the result of exhaustive R&D, from bench-testing to rigorous efficacy trials. Each product is tested against specific arthropod colonies (fleas, ticks, ants, bed bugs, etc) to prove they work before they ever carry your logo.

  • Access to ready-to-market formulation opportunities.

  • Scientific support without building an internal R&D department.

  • Expertise in formulation, efficacy, and commercialization-oriented guidance.

  • Support for existing products and product label expansions in addition to available formulations.

  • A more credible path to private-label product development than relying on generic unverified formulas.


Beyond New Formulations

In addition to available licensable formulations, Bug Brothers also consults on existing products and product label expansions. This gives clients a technical partner for both new opportunities and the improvement or expansion of products already in market.
