What Does BRSI Do?

Bio-Repellent Scientific Industries, Inc. (BRSI), located in Buena Park, California, USA, manufactures and distributes environmentally friendly (aka “Green”) industrial strength ointment-based products known as “Bio-Repellents” that have marketable applications for the 1) Pest Control; 2) Equine Care, 3) Livestock Care, and 4) Veterinary Care industries.

For the Pest Control Industry, we make and distribute products that defeat and prevent structural infestations of

For the Veterinary and Equine/Livestock Care Industries, we make EQUI-STOP, a product that prevents pets and livestock from wanting to chew on bandages, fencing, wood, etc. Animals won’t want to chew or scratch wherever the ointment is placed.


What Is A “Bio-Repellent”?

“Bio-“ is short for “Biological”, meaning that the active ingredients in bio-repellents grow, occur, or are found in nature, just like water and oxygen. There is nothing synthetic or man-made about the active ingredients in DETOUR, PIGNX, or EQUI-STOP.

“Repellent” means the product prevents, repels, or deters target animals/insects from engaging in a particular behavior, traveling along a particular path, or remaining in a particular structure by either 1) making them want to change their behavior or by 2) physically preventing access to an area.

BRSI uses a high-tech patent-pending process to create a food-grade ointment/grease from a mixture of all-natural food-grade active and inert ingredients.  BRSI products repel rather than harm. All BRSI products are safe enough to be used in LEED certified buildings and schools.


How Do DETOUR, PIGNX, and EQUI-STOP Work?

DETOUR, PIGNX, and EQUI-STOP utilize white pepper or capsaicin as their active ingredients. These substances are found in hot chili peppers commonly available at your local food market. White pepper and capsaicin have been used as a natural pesticide for hundreds of years. The products work simply by temporarily irritating the nerve-endings of the target animals/insects once the targets touch, step into, or rub against, or taste the products. Imagine the irritation one feels by eating hot chili peppers or by rubbing these peppers on the skin. This is the same effect animals, insects, and birds feel when they come into contact with our bio-repellent products.

What we did at BRSI was to create a unique delivery method that users of our products have found to be cost-effective, safe for humans, safe for animals, easy to apply, long lasting, and easy to clean up.

Please note that no BRSI products are toxic to animals or humans, however the properties in white pepper make DETOUR naturally toxic to roaches and other crawling insects that touch the product.
