In this powerhouse episode, we dive deep into the world of new active ingredients with our resident formulation mastermind, Mark Linton from Renovo Technologies — and yes… we go properly down the rabbit hole on what they really mean for the future of pest management.

Because bringing a new insecticide active to market isn’t just someone in a lab coat mixing up a secret potion. It’s years of research, regulatory hoops, logistics headaches, compliance hurdles, distribution strategy, and serious real-world testing before anything ever lands in your spray rig. We lift the curtain on what actually happens behind the scenes — the stuff most pesties never get to see or hear.

We explore:

- What new actives are emerging
- What it really takes to launch them into the industry
- The regulatory maze manufacturers have to survive
- Where pest management is heading in the future.

And of course… it wouldn’t be Pestie Profiles without a bit of banter. We couldn’t resist diving into the story behind Mark himself — still our most popular guest ever. We chat about what makes him such a standout in the industry — his deep knowledge of chemistry, how he translates complex science into practical insights we can actually use in the field, and why pesties across Australia (and beyond) keep coming back to learn more.

If you care about where this industry is going — not just where it’s been — this one’s for you.
