- Business
- Nattaro Labs AB is a Swedish biotechnology and pest control technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets sustainable, non-toxic, and chemical-free solutions for the detection, monitoring, prevention, and control of bed bug infestations. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Lund, Sweden, at Medicon Village, the company operates primarily within the environmental services, pest management, and biotechnology sectors. Nattaro Labs conducts proprietary research in insect chemical ecology and behavior to provide evidence-based pest management systems to professional pest control operators, the hospitality and travel industry, housing corporations, property managers, and retail consumers.
The company organizes its product and service offerings into distinct categories: bed bug detection and monitoring systems, which include Nattaro Scout, an active detection trap utilizing a patented synthetic aggregation pheromone attractant lure to detect early-stage infestations and evaluate remediation efficacy, along with replacement attractant dispensers; physical and mechanical barrier prevention products, featuring Nattaro Safe, a patented preventive tape and integrated skirting board solution lined with diatomaceous earth that acts mechanically to dehydrate and eliminate bed bugs without chemical insecticides; protective physical covers, including Bed Bug Protector mattress encasements designed to isolate infestations and facilitate routine property inspections; training resources for canine detection units, comprising Nattaro K9 scent samples and live or deceased specimen kits for training bed bug detection dogs; and scientific consultancy and advisory services, encompassing proprietary laboratory testing, bed bug colony culture research, infestation risk assessments, and pest management training programs for commercial property operators.
Geographically, Nattaro Labs sells its products across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region through direct sales channels, e-commerce platforms, and authorized distribution networks. The company maintains an international footprint supported by its United States subsidiary, Nattaro Labs Inc.
In recent developments, Nattaro Labs has executed a strategic pivot toward scalable international e-commerce channels, direct-to-consumer sales, and strategic distributor partnerships. In May 2025, the company appointed Fredrik Trulsson as Chief Executive Officer to lead commercial acceleration and operational efficiency. In commercial expansion, the company partnered with DT Groupe in April 2025 to expand online distribution in France, launched a proprietary direct-to-consumer e-commerce portal in Spain, expanded United States online retail operations via DIY Pest Control on Amazon, entered a distribution partnership with Fifth Ridge Pty Ltd in August 2025 to expand across Australia via Bedbug Wholesale, and partnered with Vuoria Partners Oy in May 2026 to distribute products through the Finnish Puuilo retail chain. In product innovation, the company released an enhanced formulation of the Nattaro Scout attractant featuring an extended shelf life. On the corporate and financial front, the company completed a warrant exercise program in June 2025 with a 98 percent subscription rate for its series 2024/2025 warrants, and subsequently achieved positive EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 and positive operational cash flow in the second quarter of 2026.
