Summer’s a Good Savings Time, Too.
If you recall from our last Bug Blog entry, summer’s good fighting time. And it’s true. And in our normal effort to be wicked timely, we have decided to offer you a discount of our Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Hb) nematodes and our Trichogramma spp. parasitoids for a limited time. This should help make summer an even better fighting time — since it’ll now cost you a little less.

Selected BT Products On Sale
A number of folks have been calling wanting to order one or more of our Trichogramma spp. miniwasps hoping to control caterpillars. Unfortunately, Trichogramma spp. are moth egg parasitoids and thus don’t control caterpillars, at least not directly. Of course there are other options, large predatory bugs like the spined soldier bug (Podisus maculiventris) can impact local caterpillar populations.

Thus, instead we figured it’d be better to treat those already lucky enough to not have significant mite problems with a sale on our preventive, low-infestation-managing predatory mite Neoseiulus fallacis.

2010 Summer Beetles Sale
We mentioned in our last weblog entry that we were celebrating the arrival and availability of the summer beetles. Specifically we mean a brand new generation of our ladybugs (Hippodamia convergens) is being collected as I write this. In honor of this we hinted that we might just have a sale. Well, we are. Enjoy.

Well, we’ve put this promise into action, now offering a limited-time sale of these predators. Check ‘em out now and save.
