“Monitoring Traps are the first step in a series of steps whose goal is to provide a system of information that allows the grower to manage insect problems with a minimum of input. There are many types of traps available and the most commonly used types can be used with or without pheromone lures. Monitoring traps used with pheromone lures will attract and collect members of a specific insect species. Scentry Traps are useful for determining the presence or absence of a pest, monitoring changes in pest populations, or determining the emergence patterns of adult insects as an aid in planning control measures. Scentry Pheromone Lures mimic the potent odor produced by an insect to attract, mate, and reproduce with members of the same species.The kit contains: 12 Lures, 4 Wing Trap plastic tops, 12 sticker-coated trap bottoms, 4 wire hangers, 2 insect removal sticks, 4 spacers, 1 assembly instructions, 1 Monitoring Guide.”

“Bats are a welcome ally to combat mosquitoes and other insect pests. They work while we sleep, eating up to 600 mosquitoes and other night flying insects like cucumber beetles, June bugs, stinkbugs, leafhoppers, and moths in just one hour. Providing them a home on your property during the day will benefit them as well as everyone around you. The Rubicon Bat House is an environmentally-friendly bat house in more ways than one! First, this 4-chambered bat house provides room for 150 beneficial, insect-eating bats. Because it has 4 chambers, it will hold both males and females in a colony. The interior panels are grooved to provide easy landing and roosting for the bats. The Rubicon meet the standards recommended by leading bat conservation groups: each chamber is 1″ deep, and the side ventilation slats are 3/8″ wide. This is important because this eco-friendly bat house is made from recycled plastic! Exact dimensions are necessary for maintaining proper interior temperature and ven”

“Green Lacewing larvae, also known as aphid lions, are tiny upon emerging from the egg, but they grow to 3/8″ long.Green Lacewing larvae paralyze their prey with venom and with their large hollow jaws draw out the body fluids of the pest. The Green Lacewing is the most versatile and voracious, commercially available predator of pests of greenhouse, field crops and orchards.Each lacewing larva will devour 200 or more pests or pest eggs a week during their two to three week developmental period. After this stage, the larvae pupate by spinning a cocoon with silken thread. Approximately five days later adult lacewings emerge to mate and repeat the life cycle. Depending on climatic conditions, the adult will live about four to six weeks. Each adult female may deposit more than 200 eggs. For best results, habitats should be provided that encourage the adults to remain and reproduce in the release area. Nectar, pollen, and honeydew stimulate their reproductive process. If these food sources”

“During their larval stage, Green Lacewing are voracious eaters of aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, caterpillar eggs, scale, thrips, and whitefly. Commonly called Aphid Lions, each larva can eat 200 aphids or other pests each week for 2-3 weeks. The Hanging Release pack is a thin paper container that easily hangs or can be stapled in place. It has the eggs inside it; just open up the folded top and hang it in or staple it to plant or tree foliage. Wait 3-7 days for the larvae to emerge to begin devouring your pests. The adult Green Lacewing eats only honey, pollen, and nectar, which it needs to reproduce. Provide flowering plants or Good Bug Power Meal, and your female Lacewings will lay 100?s of eggs, continuing the cycle. Availability: year-round Release Rate: In gardens and greenhouses: 1,000 eggs / 200 sq. ft. In fields or orchards: 5,000-20,000 depending on infestation. Release staggered at 1 week intervals since only the larvae are predatorial, at least”

“Preferred food: aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, caterpillar eggs, scales, thrips, and whiteflies. Method of shipment, biology and release rates: The adults are sold in containers (buckets) of 100 or 500 and should be released the day received. To Release: We do not advise refrigerating the adults. If immediate release is not possible, moisten the accompanying sponge in water and replace it. Release as soon as possible, hopefully no later than 24 hours after receipt. To release, remove the top screen and use a piece of cardboard to regulate the amounts released throughout the target area. The eggs already deposited in the shipping container can be released in the target area by cutting the container. Availability: year-round. Includes Overnight Shipping!”
