Democratizing the Sterile insect technique

Highly effective, 100% eco-friendly pest control

Invasive pests are spreading throughout the US and Europe

Pesticides are toxic to humans and the environment and they’re losing effectiveness over time, as pests develop resistance.

Fighting pests with pests

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective and eco-friendly method for pest control.
Insect females only mate once. Overwhelming an area with sterile males (males don’t bite) leads to a population suppression of >90%.

Diptera.ai pioneers “SIT-as-a-service” – a subscription service to receive sterile males ready-for-release.

Proprietary Technology

Diptera.ai combines proprietary optics, computer vision, deep biology, and automation to democratize SIT.
