Tip Top Bio-Control – Beneficial Insects

Beneficial insects are generally divided into two categories; parasites and predators. The Ladybug is an example of a predator, it consumes bad bugs such as aphids, immature whiteflies, spider mites and many other soft-bodied insect pests. An example of a parasite is the Fly parasite, which uses the pest (in this case the Filth fly) as the host or vehicle to reproduce. The parasites lay their eggs in or around the host pest, which kills the pest and provides a food source for the future offspring of the parasite.

Beneficial insects attack your pest problem by reducing the number of pests to below damaging levels. So, instead of using harmful insecticides, try creating a complete line of defense the Natural Way!
