Got Bugs, Want to Use Bugs…How do I do it?  Many people want to use beneficial insects for pests, but do not know where to start.  Here is a small step into this way of controlling pests.

Beneficial Insect: Just the Basics

Using beneficial insects is gaining in popularity, but many people are intimidated by this type of control for pests.  The biggest challenges that we hear about are knowing your pests and what to use to help control them.

The first step is to correctly identify your target pest(s).  This can be done with a hand lens or simple microscope in combination with some online identification resources*.  We are also happy to help with pests, just send us a photo (my email:info@naturalinsectcontrol.com).

Once the pests are identified then the beneficial insect(s) can be determined and what part of the pest cycle will be targeted.  See our quick references of Pests and Beneficial to help determine which beneficial insect to use for your pests.
