Beneficial Insects

City dwellers have been taught by insecticide advertising to hate or fear all insects. The public is learning to respect the importance of insects in nature. Families with children and people who have health problems or chemical sensitivity especially welcome this safe alternative to toxic chemicals.

Biological Controls have been used for thousands of years and they should be a part of your pest control program. Beneficial insects work by attacking pest insects and thus reducing their numbers. It is important to note that total elimination of pests is not required to grow good crops or garden; it is only necessary to reduce pests below the damage threshold for the crop being grown. When using beneficial insects, it is important to avoid disruptive chemicals. Complete instructions included with each order. We recommend releasing beneficial insects outdoors from April through September, based on your local weather conditions. They may be released in your greenhouse anytime.
