About Us

Company History

HOMS is a limited liability company formed in North Carolina, USA with the scope of developing, manufacturing and marketing natural pesticide products. BiteBlocker® insect repellent was the first product marketed by HOMS in 2001. HOMS has since licensed and patented unique naturally-derived substances and developed a base to be used in other manufactured products to provide insect repellency and control for a full range of insects and other pests.

Company Objectives

HOMS, LLC, operating in synergy with a research university, is specialized in the development of authentic and nature-based solutions applied to nature’s pests. HOMS’ primary goal is to replace the potentially harmful and flammable DEET and Permethrin formulations as the most effective insect repellent active ingredients. Under this paradigm shift, our natural products will be extended to a larger range of applications in which these ingredients are limited. Through science and patented technologies HOMS will establish proof before making a claim. Furthermore, our active substances must demonstrate that they can be applied safely and without adverse effects to the environment and human health.
