Mortein is an Australian brand of household insecticide owned by the British company Reckitt. Together with its sister product Aerogard, a popular insect repellent, Mortein is widely used in Australia and is marketed internationally. It is also available in New Zealand,[1] India,[2] Pakistan,[3] Fiji, and the Comoros. The brand has been represented in television commercials by cartoon antagonist Louie the Fly.

In 1969, the Samuel Taylor company was bought by the British company Reckitt & Colman.
