Precise Results

With DNA collected from your fields, we can assess biodiversity and pinpoint any pests present

No Up-Front Costs

We only charge a deposit for our sampling devices, and you do not need to buy any equipment from us

Custom Plans

Our service is tailored to your needs, and is suitable for both small and large farms

Receive Timely and Actionable Advice to Keep Crops Safe

We provide farmers with pest intelligence, helping you mitigate pest infestations early and lower costs through minimizing the time spent on monitoring and reducing the amount of pesticides used. Invasive species are identified with DNA sequencing data obtained from the field, and we present you with actionable guidance on when and how to best treat an emerging infestation – thanks to analyses backed by machine learning and artificial intelligence. Our goal is to help safeguard crop yield and food security while maintaining the health and biodiversity of your fields.

Stay Ahead of Invasive Pests and Animal Diseases

DNA sequencing has many applications in a farm setting, from understanding the health of farm ecosystems to assessing the risk of emerging pests or diseases. We collect samples both indoors and outdoors to ensure that your information needs are covered – whether on the field, in the greenhouse, or in your livestock building. The samples are sequenced to identify potential threats, including animals, insects, and molds.

This stuff works!

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn How our Service Works!

Can I save money on signing up with Wild Genomics?

Yes. We offer an efficient way of keeping track of any pest threats in your fields, saving valuable time that would otherwise have been spent on scouting or trapping. In addition, our precision pest monitoring services are geared towards detecting pests early and pinpointing when and where interventions like pesticides are needed, which greatly reduces input costs.

Would my pest control advisor find the service useful?

Yes. We work with both farmers and pest control advisors to provide pest intelligence that supports pest control decision making. The data provided by us come with actionable guidance on how to best address an emerging pest outbreak.

Am I committing to up-front investments by signing up?

No. Aside from a refundable deposit, there are no up-front costs when you sign up with us. You get access to our equipment free of charge, and only pay for the services rendered.

What pests will the service help me detect?

Since our service is based on the sequencing of DNA captured from the air, we can detect any kind of pest, provided their DNA is found in the environment. We primarily look for insects and fungi, but will happily accommodate for your particular needs.

Who is responsible for maintaining the equipment?

We are. If you are having issues with a device, we will promptly provide service, replacements, and upgrades as needed. We are dedicated to providing durable and user-friendly equipment, and pride ourselves on ensuring a reliable, hassle-free service

Where can the service be used?

We currently operate in the continental United States, and have obtained permission for shipping samples across State borders. With our sampling device, samples containing DNA can be collected pretty much anywhere, from farm fields to greenhouses and livestock buildings.

How does the service work, exactly?

We offer precision pest monitoring as a service, through hardware that collects DNA in the field and a dedicated laboratory team providing pest identification through DNA-sequencing of the collected samples. A more detailed service description is under development, though you can always reach out to us if you have further questions.

How do I sign up?

We are currently offering our services to a limited number of customers as we continue to improve it. Please sign up here, and we will be in touch shortly.
