Buying Biocontrol Insects

St John's Wort

St John's wort is one of the toughest weeds to control, but Chrysolina leaf beetles provide a proven, natural way to reduce infestations.

These target-specific biocontrol agents feed on St John's wort. Once established, they can significantly weaken and reduce infestations over time.

Tingids

Tingids, commonly known as lace bugs, are highly host-specific biological control insects used for the sustainable management of invasive weeds. They are particularly effective against cat’s claw creeper, feeding exclusively on the target plant and completing their entire life cycle on the host. By sucking sap from leaves and stems, lace bugs weaken the plant over time, reducing growth, flowering, and spread. Their strict host specificity ensures no risk to non-target plants, crops, or native vegetation, making them an environmentally responsible alternative to chemical control methods. Tingids are well suited for integrated weed management programs and are most effective when released early in the growing season under suitable climatic conditions.
