Mortein is one of the world's most recognized insecticide brands, featuring a long history that began in Australia. It was originally created by J. Hagemann, a German immigrant to Australia, in the 1870s. The name is derived from the French word 'mort' (death) and the German word 'ein' (one), signifying 'one death' for pests.

Today, Mortein is a key brand in the portfolio of Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), a British multinational consumer goods company. While the brand remains a market leader in Australia, New Zealand, and India, its products are manufactured across various global facilities to serve regional markets. The brand focuses on household pest control, offering solutions ranging from aerosols and coils to electrical vaporizers.
