As a global, purpose-led company, we are committed to making the world a better place today and for future generations. That means relentlessly bringing our expertise in science, innovation and partnerships to bear on some of the world’s most pressing environmental and health issues like reducing plastic waste and eradicating malaria. Around the world, we use our resources to unlock greater economic and educational opportunities for people and communities where access may be limited, but curiosity and potential are limitless. 

For more than six decades, we’ve been working to understand arthropod pests, reduce the annoyances they cause and help prevent the diseases they may carry. We opened our first entomology research center in 1957, the same year we launched our first personal repellent. 

One of the world’s largest private urban entomology research facilities, the SC Johnson Center for Insect Science and Family Health™ has two main priorities: product evaluation and development, which focuses on creating personal and area repellents and insecticides, as well as applied entomology research, where researchers study arthropod behavior and work to identify the best pest-control strategies. Both areas are supported by a world-class insect-rearing facility known as the Insectary, which houses about 20 species of arthropod pests. 

Research from our entomologists informs our efforts to help address the spread of vector-borne diseases around the globe and educate families about how to protect themselves.
