When it comes to controlling insects, there’s nothing more natural than using a natural predatory insect to do the job for you. Using predatory insects as part of your Integrated Pest Management Program helps control infestations while lowering the use of toxic chemicals and preserving the environment. Beneficial insects are especially advantageous in closed environments like nurseries and greenhouses or within interiorscapes, where the use of pesticides is especially undesirable. Unmatched Experience in Sustainable Pest Management Associates Insectary is a pioneer in Sustainable Pest Management, operating with the same principles for more than 80 years. A grower-owned cooperative founded in 1928, Associates Insectary provides complete Integrated Pest Management to California's Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, where the use of beneficial predatory insects has helped to greatly reduce the amount of toxic chemicals needed to produce high quality crops in our area. Over two million beneficial organisms are produced at our Santa Paula facility each day, and while most of the beneficials that we produce are used by our Grower-Members, quantities are regularly shipped to locations throughout the United States and internationally. We are the only United States-based producer of mealybug destroyer beetles – other companies ship theirs in from outside the U.S.
