Why "Platypus"?

The platypus is one of the most unique mammals in the world – so unusual that early European scientists doubted it was even real. With its duck-like bill, beaver tail, and webbed feet, it defies easy classification, standing apart from every other species.

At Platypus, we share that same spirit of uniqueness. Just as the animal doesn’t fit into traditional categories, our approach to pest control goes beyond conventional solutions. We’ve developed a biodegradable, bio-based platform that delivers longer- lasting, sustainable performance for natural pest control products – giving manufacturers an edge in efficacy, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
