Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use sprays with your products?

Each of our biocontrol agents have different levels of sensitivity to chemical sprays. In order to achieve the best results, we generally  recommend you refrain from using any sprays two weeks prior and two weeks following a release of our biocontrol agents. For specific information about the effects of pesticides on beneficial insects and mites refer to the Biobest Side Effects App.

Disclaimer:

While we make every effort to supply you with beneficial insects and mites to help improve your pest management, and to reduce the need for pesticides, we cannot guarantee the outcome in every situation.  Our biocontrol agents do feed readily on the species that we have specified in our tech sheets and on our website.  However, there are many variables including accurate pest identification, plant species, pest density, numbers of beneficials released, environmental conditions and history of pesticide usage that influence the outcomes.  We will always do our best to help you achieve a positive outcome but we simply cannot guarantee that your problem will be solved to your satisfaction.  Because every situation is unique we are constantly learning about how best to use our good bugs.  We appreciate any feedback from your experience.
