Description

THE COMPANY

Wondercide was founded 15 years ago by Stephanie Boone when her dog Luna became ill from what her vet suspected was conventional flea and tick treatments and monthly pest control services.

Stephanie knew there had to be a better way and set out on a mission to invent a plant powered alternative.

Today, Wondercide offers a comprehensive line of plant powered pest control solutions for your pets, yard, home, and family with +50,000 5-star reviews on Amazon.

Wondercide, based in Austin, TX, is a privately held, high growth, and digitally native consumer packaged goods company that has an omni-channel presence and is expanding into specialty brick & mortar and beyond.

The company is a vertically integrated organization where sales, marketing, creative content, customer service, innovation, procurement, mixing, production, fulfillment, and more are all done in-house.

This allows the team to control their own destiny from a multi-year roadmap to quality of execution via operational excellence.

We are a close-knit, highly collaborative team of 'doers' who operate in an entrepreneurial and KPI driven environment. Grit, Action, Curiosity, Ownership, and Insight are the five operating values we embody in our day-to-day work.

At Wondercide, we're driven by a Fierce Love for families.

We wake up every day inspired by our mission to protect families of every kind, everywhere from pests with safe, effective pest control solutions.

We work with Mother Nature to deliver plant-powered products that promote well-being. We do this so families can live long, happy, and healthy lives together.

We believe in doing whatever it takes to protect those we love and that when you know better, you should do better.

Our promise to customers:
they'll never have to go it alone. We're in this together and we'll be there to support each step of the way.
