In a world where sustainable development and technology define the future of agriculture, innovation has become the driving force behind global transformation. The search for solutions that enhance production efficiency without harming the environment is fueling the emergence of new technological products capable of rethinking traditional approaches in the agro-industry.
Founded by parent companies DroneUA and Mosqitter, the startup Beetless is changing conventional pest control methods. Its technology is based on the precise use of natural insect behavior mechanisms to detect and neutralize pests without the use of pesticides.
At the heart of the solution are intelligent traps that combine light waves, pheromones, and sound frequencies to localize and capture target insects. "Our technology doesn’t just detect the problem — it acts comprehensively, from detection to reducing pest populations," explains Oleksandra Afanasieva, CEO of Beetless.
As noted by Valerii Iakovenko, co-founder of DroneUA and Futurology: "It’s like inventing Edison’s light bulb: you have to go through millions of variations before finding the right one. We’ve found a solution — and now we are working on perfecting it.
Currently, the Beetless technology is undergoing large-scale academic validation in collaboration with leading universities and state institutions in the United States and is also being tested on orange plantations in Brazil. Special attention is being given to combating the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) and the invasive Spotted Lanternfly, which pose serious threats to orchards and vineyards on the U.S. East Coast.
After the validation stage, the technology is planned to scale globally through partnerships with major international corporations such as Johnson & Johnson, Avon, and DuPont.
