SKATEK®Bed Bug Innovation
About Skatek

Better tools for one of the hardest pests,
built for the technician.

Skatek develops and manufactures bed bug tools for pest control professionals, built to find bed bugs sooner and make every job easier.

Why we started with monitoring

Ask an operator what slows a bed bug job down and you rarely hear about the treatment itself. You hear about the hunt: getting bed bugs to come out, knowing whether they are there at all, and proving afterwards that they are gone. We built ExHale for that part of the job.

The mechanism is behavioural, and the dispenser does the work of a sleeping person. It releases the aerosol in measured bursts on the schedule the operator sets, at night when bed bugs are active, so the room reads as occupied. Bed bugs leave their hiding places on their own instead of being driven deeper into the structure. That makes ExHale a monitoring tool: it shows whether bed bugs are present before treatment, and whether they are gone after.

Why we work with distributors

Operators buy from people they already have terms with, and they need stock the same week they need it. Distributors do that well, so we work with them. We put our effort into the product and into helping technicians use it well. We help with training and guides, and we built Skatek Hub for technicians who want instructions and support.

Ahead of the infestation
Bed bug work is changing, and we want to be early. We develop in Norway, hold our products to a high standard and move quickly. Our focus is prevention and effective tools for the technician's kit. The later bed bugs are found, the bigger the treatment. Find them sooner and you move faster from job to job, with fewer callbacks, and one of the hardest pests in the trade gets easier to handle.
How we work

Three commitments

Built on the research

ExHale uses what studies show draws bed bugs out: CO₂ and host odour, released when a person would be asleep.

Help to get it right

We help with training and guides, and Skatek Hub gives technicians instructions and support when they need it.

Made in Norway

ExHale Aerosol is developed and manufactured in Norway.
