Our products prevent rodents from chewing on wires by making the wire unattractive; to make dangerous liquids un- palatable; to make pests choose to not eat ornamental plants. This concept of harmless protection became the philosophy, the ani- mating idea, behind Aversion Technologies. Founded in 2005, we are the only company in the world that exclusively offers prod- ucts to modify behavior, thereby providing protection through avoidance. We believe that behavioral change can be accomplished through conditioning in the form of distaste- ful – but harmless – consequences. We have found that it rarely takes more that one or two encounters with our products to cause an avoidance reaction in the future.
