Learn about the benefits of ladybugs, nematodes, praying mantis, and mason bees in your garden and around your home.
Benefits of
Ladybugs
Ladybugs eat aphids, mealy bugs, scale, leafhoppers and more. The more they eat, the more ladybugs breed, replacing damaging insects with beneficial ones.
benefits of
Nematodes
Nematodes attack more than 230 kinds of soil-dwelling and wood-boring pests. They live below the soil surface and eat grub and larva.
Benefits of
Praying Mantis
The Praying Mantis eats a wide variety of insects like beetles, grubs, caterpillars and aphids – almost anything that moves. One egg case will yield about 50-400 adults!
benefits of
Mason Bees
Mason Bees get to work sooner than most pollinators, emerging in early Spring. They are very effective pollinators. Just two or three females can pollinate a mature apple tree!
