Woodstream Acquires Dynamic Solutions Worldwide, Maker of DynaTrap Insect Traps

 

Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 18, 2019 — Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, DynaTrap is a leading provider of insect traps with both indoor and outdoor applications. Introduced in 2006 by Juan Rocha, DynaTrap has grown to be the number-one insect trap company in North America, with its products sold at leading home and hardware retailers including Home Depot, Costco, Sam's, Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, and Ace Hardware, as well as on QVC, HSN and online retailers. DynaTrap's insect traps, which adhere to the highest quality and safety standards, protect against mosquitoes and other flying insects without the use of pesticides.

"The addition of DynaTrap not only adds a highly regarded and successful product line to Woodstream's existing offerings, but it also introduces us to additional blue-chip clients which complement our current roster of world-class customers," said Miguel Nistal, CEO of Woodstream. "Demand for DynaTrap insect traps has never been higher as new and more potent strains of mosquito viruses develop each year. We are excited to welcome the DynaTrap team, and we remain on the lookout for additional strategic acquisitions that will supplement Woodstream's strong organic growth."

"Woodstream is the perfect home for DynaTrap," said Mr. Rocha, DynaTrap president."There is a natural synergy between our companies, and through this combination, DynaTrap's products will be introduced to a significant group of new customers. I look forward to helping Miguel and his team integrate the two companies."
