The Device We create a constant odor of Achilea at the greenhouse entrance or perimeter.
To achieve this we use two devices: GateKeeper and GreenFence.
GateKeeper: Installed in the greenhouse entrance and prevents the penetration of Whitefly and Tuta Absoluta.
GreenFence: Installed on the perimeter of the greenhouse and prevents the penetration of Thrips.
GateKeeper GreenFence

GateKeeper – How it Works
External Sticky Trap –loaded with Whiteflies and other insects
550 whiteflies
Internal Sticky Trap –nearly no Whiteflies!
3 whitefliesin a week!
• Whiteflies and Tuta Absoluta penetrate greenhousesthrough entrances + openings, not through screens
• EdenShield’s NET sprayed via GateKeeper masks crops’ odor at greenhouse entrances
• Nearly 100% reduction in amount of pests entering vs. insects just outside
• Nearly no occurrence of viruses
