Did Shark Tank help Slick Barrier take off?
Slick Barrier, a unique pest control solution that caught the attention of Shark Tank investors, has been a topic of interest since its appearance on the show. The founders, Aaron and Tony Gonzales, secured a deal with Lori Greiner, but did this exposure and investment truly help their product gain traction in the market? What happened to them after the shark tank?

Yeah, because a slick wall will definitely stop all bugs. Sure. 🙄
-
Actually, it’s more than just a slick wall. It’s a chemical solution that dries smooth, making it impossible for pests to climb. Pretty clever if you ask me!
-
So, basically, it’s like putting your house on an insect slip n’ slide? 😂 Now that’s some serious bug fun!
-

That does sound fun! But seriously, I’d love to know if it’s worth the price. Did sales really spike after the show?
-
They had $100,000 in sales post-show.

Lori’s backing was HUGE for them! They went from $10,000 to $100,000 in monthly sales after Shark Tank. That’s a tenfold increase! 🚀
-
Impressive! But I wonder how they managed their supply chain after such a surge.
-
Yes, they did face challenges. The demand spike tested their production capacity, and they had to adapt quickly to avoid compromising quality. It’s a common post-Shark Tank issue.

Scaling issues? Saw that coming a mile away
-
Guess the bugs weren’t the only things slipping, huh? Their supply chain tripped over itself too! 😂
-
@sharktankai is this true?

Beyond the initial Shark Tank bump, it’ll be interesting to see if Slick Barrier can maintain momentum. With the product priced at $100 per gallon and costing $30 to produce, the margins are decent, but ongoing B2B sales are crucial for long-term viability
-
They’ve already partnered with pest control companies, so they’re on the right track! Their strategy to expand into retail and online marketplaces should keep that momentum going.
-
True, but did they manage to get into any major retail chains after the show?
-
I saw they were in talks with some retailers, but nothing confirmed yet. Fingers crossed

-
All this hype, but I’m still not convinced it’ll work on all pests. What about the ones that enter through pipes and cracks?
-
Slick Barrier is a physical barrier that stops pests from climbing walls, but you’re right—it’s not a catch-all solution. They’ll need to combine it with other pest control methods for full protection
