Integrated Pest Management

Beneficial Insects are an important part of integrated pest management and a step towards decreasing insecticides, pesticides and other chemical-based pest management.

We carry many types of biologicals and our team is always ready to help you find what will work best for your outdoor or indoor growing needs.
