When Gilbert-based Slick Barrier appeared on ABC-TV’s"Shark Tank" in 2023, the company landed a $500,000 investment from entrepreneur Lori Greiner after pitching its patented clear coating designed to keep crawling pests — including those nasty Arizona bark scorpions — out of homes and businesses.
The company's"Shark Tank" appearance also caught Home Depot's attention, leading to a major distribution deal with the home improvement retail giant, which is now selling Slick Barrier's scorpion-repelling product in more than 187 stores in Arizona and Texas.“About two months after the show, Home Depot reached out to us. People were asking about the product and wanted to see if they could carry it,” Aaron Gonzales, co-founder of Slick Barrier, told AZ Inno.
