Efficacy testing for household pesticides
Proven data for safe, effective, and compliant pest control solutions
At Eurofins Agroscience Services India, we offer specialised efficacy testing services for household pesticides, providing manufacturers, regulators, and formulators with scientifically validated data to demonstrate the effectiveness of their products. Whether your formulation targets crawling insects, flying pests, or public health vectors, our state-of-the-art laboratory and field-testing protocols ensure your products meet both consumer expectations and regulatory standards.
With a strong foundation in entomology and regulatory science, we assess the real-world performance of insecticides, larvicides, repellents, fumigants, and disinfectants across a wide range of target organisms.

Yes. Our testing is conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and non-GLP conditions in alignment with national and international guidelines, including those established by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIBRC), ensuring acceptability for product registration and marketing.
Can you simulate real-world usage conditions?
Absolutely. We conduct both laboratory-based controlled tests and field trials to simulate actual usage environments, delivering reliable and relevant data.
Do you offer custom protocols or support product development?
Yes. Our team of entomologists and efficacy experts can design tailored studies and support R&D optimisation for both new and reformulated products.
