PestEx 2026: Skatek bed bug innovation on stand 13

PRESS RELEASE

Skatek is an Oslo-based company focused on product development in the bed bug segment.

The mission is straightforward: give professionals the tools to create reliable activity in a room, so inspections, treatments, and follow-ups become faster and easier to document.

Bed bug jobs rarely fail because technicians lack skill. They fail because bed bugs are exceptional at staying hidden.

They harbour deep, move when no one's watching, and turn "probably solved" into callbacks.

Skatek's approach is to make the environment reveal them.

ExHale is Skatek's flagship innovation, a professional-grade lure system that mimics human signals by releasing CO2 combined with an attractant, perfect when you don't have a host available on a bed bug job.

The dispenser offers adjustable spray intervals with timers so you can let it work through the night, maintaining a steady signal without the inconsistency of other improvised methods or no activation tools at all.

ExTrap extends that thinking into practical monitoring.

Designed for both pest professionals and the hospitality industry, it fits real workflows: mapping activity before treatment, supporting verification after, or running ongoing treatment.

Use it alongside ExHale for stronger engagement, or as a standalone device when consistent, low-maintenance monitoring to is the priority.

Skatek is built for companies that want to prevent escalation, reduce repeat visits, and standardise quality across teams and sites.

Smarter signals. Better monitoring. Designed around how professionals actually work.

Find Skatek at PestEx stand number 13, or connect through the BPCA network.
