What is Biological Pest Control?

The use of Integrated Pest Management in Australia started in citrus orchards in the 1980’s. It has continued to grow and expand over the years to where now there are commercial and domestic growers all over Australia employing strategies ranging from companion planting through to the use specialist bread predatory and parasitic insects.
Simply put, wherever possible the natural predator of a pest is used to manage the pest outbreak in an environment. Whether that be a hectare’s large greenhouse or a potted house plant.
The use of chemicals plays a small support role only when required. When and where it is the best option, the grower is encouraged to use the right chemical in the right way to achieve the best result with the minimum impact on the environment.
The use of traditional calendar or broad-spectrum sprays are discouraged as they are far more disruptive than effective.

Release the Hungry Hordes for Effective Biological Pest Control

We breed our predator mites to be tough and resilient. As such, our breeding program incorporates environmental stresses to ensure every batch is ready for the toughest conditions. Simply release the predators at the right time, and in the right amount, and let them do what they do best. It can take a little more time than dousing the area with pesticides but they work cleanly and efficiently, selectively ridding you of the target pests. Rest assured, we’re happy to advise you on how to achieve the results you want.
