Creative Uses Aphidoletes Sale
We keep hearing information from our Aphidoletes aphidimyza producer that this little aphid midge is a more powerful biocontrol agent than we ever suspected.

There might be some delays, but for the most part it’ll be business as usual. We will, however, be missed by those who call for support or order by phone — our phones will remain unanswered the entire week.
