Collection: Beneficial Insects & Mites
Beneficial insects and mites are a group that includes parasitoids, predatory bugs and predatory mites. Parasitoids lay eggs on, or inside, pests – resulting in host death, while predatory bugs and mites feed directly on one, or more, pests. These insects can exhibit generalistic behaviour, feeding on several different species or pests, others are specialists.
Beneficials are registered as Plant Protection Products. To purchase them we require a copy of your valid Plant Protection Product Certificate of Competence.
