Mortein is an iconic household insecticide brand with a history dating back to the 1870s. It was originally created in Australia by J. Hagemann, who developed a powder based on crushed chrysanthemum flowers to combat pests. Over the decades, the brand became a household name in Australia and New Zealand, eventually expanding its reach globally through innovative delivery systems like aerosol sprays and coils.

Today, the brand is owned by Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), a British multinational consumer goods company. While the brand has deep Australian roots, manufacturing is now conducted in multiple locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. It remains a leading name in pest control solutions across many countries in the Commonwealth and beyond, known for its effective 'Fast Knockdown' technologies against flying and crawling insects.
