Russell IPM is one of the leading manufacturers of products for insect pheromone-based monitoring and control. For over 25 years, Russell IPM has developed more than 150 insect pheromone lures and several bio-rational pesticides.

As the demand for residue free fresh produce continues, Russell IPM is committed to help growers achieve the highest levels of safe and cost-effective insect and disease control.

As recognition of our outstanding achievements, Russell IPM has been granted the Queens’s Award for Enterprise: International trade 2011 and the Queens’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation, 2012.

With a steadfast commitment to research and development Russell IPM maintains a position at the forefront of pheromone based insect monitoring and control technology with a range of specialist systems for use in the agriculture sector, food processing and distribution facilities and other public health fields.

Over the last 25 years the Russell IPM research and development team has focused on developing high potential new products.

To best serve the agriculture sector, our research facilities include pheromone formulation laboratory, quality control analytical laboratory enriched with Gas chromatography (GC-FID), Gas chromatography linked with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), sophisticated and automated multi-species pheromone baited trap manufacturing capability without human touch, wide range of pressure sensitive adhesive coating equipment to incorporate pheromones and attractants in to the adhesive layer, an advanced in house printing facility for custom made products, and natural material based bio-pesticide manufacturing facilities.

The recent restriction on the use of certain types of pesticides in Europe has led to the rapid reduction of their use within agriculture and the food industry. Russell IPM can now offer safer alternative agro-ecological approaches to pest management.

With real life, proven experience our male and female fruit fly attract and kill systems can successfully control fruit flies without intervention with conventional chemical pesticides.

Russell IPM also offers a wide range of biological pesticides to combat the pest problems faced by agriculture with minimum impact on the environment and beneficial insects.
