Beneficial Insects

Beneficial Insects for IPM Programs

Beneficial insects are a cornerstone of biological Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in commercial greenhouse operations, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), and certified organic farms. Introducing natural predators and parasitoids allows growers to suppress pest populations without chemical intervention — reducing resistance risk and protecting beneficial ecosystems.

Custom Hydro stocks a selection of beneficial insects and organisms including lady bugs, green lacewings, predatory mites, beneficial nematodes, Encarsia formosa (whitefly parasitoid), Trichogramma wasps, and earthworms — all available via mailback programs for live delivery.
