Becker History

Whether you’re dealing with an old threat that has returned or a novel species, Becker Microbial is here for all your pest control needs.

A History of Innovation

In 1985, Couch founded Becker Microbial Products to invest in Bacillus thuringiensis research and development. Over the past 38 years, Becker’s work has perfected the fermentation and formulation of existing Bt strains and developed a unique strain of Bti. These pesticides are being distributed in Australia, France, India, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey.

In 2022, Becker Microbial Products was acquired by Proventus Bioscience, a Canadian biotech focused on developing microbial cultures for industry use. The acquisition allows both Becker and Proventus to continue to expand their global reach.
