Beneficial Insects
Nature’s way of controlling pests without chemicals! Beneficial insects feast on aphids, mites, caterpillars and other plant-consuming bugs and are harmless to people, plants and pets. Our comprehensive selection helps you match the correct beneficial to your pest problem. For best results, release beneficials at the first sign of a problem. If pest populations are high, use the least-toxic, short-lived natural pesticide — Insecticidal Soaps, Horticultural Oils, Botanical Insecticides — to establish control before releasing your beneficial predators/ parasites. Need help deciding which beneficial is best-suited to your problem? Our knowledgeable staff can help.
