Frequently Asked Questions

Will your products infest my home or damage my plants?

None of the products we sell to home gardeners feed on plant material or have the ability to turn into pests. Once the host species is no longer prevalent in the environment the biocontrol will simply leave to source more food, or not be able to complete its life cycle.

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.
