Our Story: In 2007 Dr. Darek Czokajlo founded Alpha Scents, Inc. in West Linn, Oregon.

Alpha Scents products help reduce pesticide use and expense by providing tools to help monitor and manage destructive pest populations with minimal environmental impact. To accomplish this, Alpha Scents seeks to build strong relationships with its customers that go well beyond the sale of products. Founder and President, Dr. Czokajlo earned his masters degree in forestry at the Agricultural University of Warsaw in 1987, and a doctoral degree in the field of insect chemical ecology and forest entomology at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, New York in 1998. For the past decade, Dr. Czokajlo has designed new controlled release devices and traps at IPM Technologies, Advanced Pheromone Technologies, Forests Alive and APTIV. He spearheaded the development of “Attract & Kill” technologies for insect monitoring and management in forestry, agriculture, and the public health sector.
