Natural Controls

Beneficial insects have controlled insect pests for millions of years and you can use them in your indoor garden, too! Totally safe for humans and their plants, beneficial insects are also safe for the environment. They're proven effective - we have many satisfied users growing in home greenhouses, and indoors under lights, as well as in commercial applications, on a variety of crops.

The pests gradually disappear, and the beneficials thrive. When your pest populations die off, they will too - unless they find more pests to eat. You never need to worry about our beneficial insects becoming pests themselves, because the ones we sell can only eat other pests - not plants.

Hired Bugs don't tolerate most pesticides very well, so it's very important not to apply residual pesticides (such as Malathion & Sevin) for at least a month before using "Hired Bugs".

Spider Mite Predators Spider Mite Predators
Spider Mite Predators not only feed on Spider Mites and their eggs, they also breed twice as fast! Each Spider Mite Predator sucks the juice out of about 5 Spider Mites a day, or 20 of their eggs.   More Details and Pricing
Whitefly Parasites Whitefly Parasites
Tiny Whitefly Parasites (Encarsia formosa) lay their eggs inside developing Whitefly pupae, so a Whitefly Parasite hatches out instead of a Whitefly. You'll need a magnifier to see them, but they spell death for Greenhouse Whiteflies, and they provide some limited control of Sweet Potato Whitefly as well.

Qty Needed: 1000/1000 Sq. Ft.   More Details and Pricing
Pirate Bugs Pirate Bugs
The newest Thrips control, Pirate Bugs (Orius insidiosis) also eat Spider Mites, insect eggs, aphids, and small caterpillars. Shipped as nymphs near hatching or adults ready to use (no choice).   More Details and Pricing
Aphid Predators Aphid Predators
Aphid Predators (Aphidoletes aphidimyza) have worked so well in many greenhouses, that, by Summer, Aphids may be hard to even find. Breeding populations of predators are usually established from a single release, but regular weekly releases during the growing season speeds up control. 1,000 Aphid Predators treats up to 10,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse space. Qty Needed: 250/small garden   More Details and Pricing
Thrips Pedator Mites Thrips Pedator Mites
Normally, Thrips Predator Mites (Amblyseius cucumeris) are most effective under conditions of 70-85% humidity, against all species of Thrips. They will also eat an occasional Spider Mite, and other small pests.   More Details and Pricing
Predator Nematodes Predator Nematodes
"Double-Death" Predator Nematodes are some of the most useful pest controls to come along in years. They attack and kill more than 250 different insects, including Fleas, Thrips, Fungus Gnats, even insects as large as Cutworms! Nearly any insect that spends a part of its lifecycle in the soil is likely prey for "Double-Death" Predator Nematodes.   More Details and Pricing
