About Biosenta Inc.

Biosenta is the first company globally, to our knowledge, which has products that can completely eradicate mold, bacteria and fungi on contact and prevent re-growth. Other primarily bleach based products can eliminate surface issues and odours but will not kill the spores that continue to cause the growth of the microbial substances. The Biosenta products address the demand created by the mounting health and environmental concerns that mold and other microbes can affect the immune system, nervous system, liver, kidneys, blood and cause brain damage. ZeroMold is the first product made available for sale at the retail level and other, larger scale products, are also being developed for the Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional ("ICI") markets on a global basis.
