Buy with a bag of ladybugs and get the food for $17.00.

Having ladybugs and other beneficial insects in your yard is wonderful, but it can be a challenge to keep them. Using a food source can be a great way to hold on to your beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings and direct them to certain areas of your yard. Ladybugs in particular require a liquid food source when released; it will increase their egg laying and your control.
Praying Mantis:
25 pack Bio Boxes: $14.75 (23819)
small boxes, designed with a hook to hang from plants, providing a safe spot from which the beneficial insects can disperse easily. Allows for a cleaner distribution.

Aphidoletes:
Aphidoletes are a predator midge of aphids.
They're shipped out in the pupal stage. After sitting at room temperature for a few days, you'll see the adult midges flying around in their container. Once that happens, they are ready for you to release them to start hunting aphids. Can be used with ladybugs. Read more...
Are you tired of dealing with sticky honeydew from aphid-infested boulevard trees?
​
This is your solution:
Hang vials of Aphidoletes from every tree (every other tree if trees are adjacent) and the Aphidoletes will emerge directly from the vials without you having to do anything!

Mighty Mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis):
​
Persimilis is the only species of mite that will actually go into webbing to feed on spider mites and get your pest problem under control. It is the best, but also fussy: it needs relatively high humidity (60%) and is not at all compatible with pesticides
​
1,000 Mites (22750): $56.00 on vermiculite (for areas ~500 square feet)
Buy 3 or more: $40.00
2,000 Mites (22751): $76.00 on vermiculite - smaller "hot spot" vial (for areas ~500-1000 sq. feet)
Buy 3 or more: $60.00
​
(Ordering Tip: it is better to buy 1 bottle of P.p. per room,
as it is almost impossible to divide up a bottle evenly between separate growing areas)
Hot Mites (N. fallacis):
It's never a bad idea to introduce fallacis alongside persimilis. This mite will stick around and feed on pollen while preventing spider mites from re-establishing. They're a one-time introduction, and will feed on a variety of pest mites. They can be used indoors and outdoors, on conifer hedges, berries, and bamboo, for example.
You can divide up the fallacis between different rooms, which you cannot do with persimlis.
​
​

​
1,000 Mites (22702): $39.75 on vermiculite. For areas up to 5000 sq. feet

​
Stethorus (Stethorus punctillum):
Stethorus are meant to be used as "hot spot" treatment, alongside the mite predators above. They are expensive to rear (and for you to purchase), so realistically are to be used as a supplement. They will fly freely to find new mite spots.
​
50 Stethorus Beetles (22763): $77.50
100 Stethorus Beetles (22764): $115.00
