In an effort to encourage more growers to put Atheta coriaria through its paces as an aggressive soil pest predator — for soil pests like fungus gnats — we’ve decided to put them on sale for a couple of weeks. If you purchase them now and put them in your greenhouse, not only is your timing good, but you also can save a little money.

As we recently mentioned, we have a new Encarsia formosa strain available. Specifically what’s known as the “Nile Delta” strain. To remind you, its claim to fame is its ability to parasitize a handful of whitefly species, where as our regular E. formosa is only useful against the so-called greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, only. In light of this new offering, we’ve decided to kick it off with a sale.

We decided to offer our thrips predatory mite, Neoseiulus cucumeris, on sale for a limited time. It was a tough choice. Some various cultures have been weakened by weird West Coast weather patterns so we wanted to be sure to offer something that may be needed and is in great supply. Our “cucus” fit the bill in all areas. Start now in your fight against thrips and you can save some money. If you’ve had thrips problems in the past in your greenhouse or interior plant place, a sound preventive program might just save you more than the percentage off this week’s item.

Stay ahead of your pests by regularly monitoring for them, and our sticky traps can be an instrumental part.

What better way is there to kick off 2010 than to offer you some savings? We couldn’t think of one so here we are, offering you our first sales item of the year. We should add that like last year, this sale will be one of many, with an almost continuous sales offering throughout 2010.

As it was last time we had an up-and-coming vacation, we have decided to have a ladybug (Hippodamia convergens) sale for this season’s vacation (read that entry for details). We’re doing this because ladybugs are the easiest critters for us to deal with in terms of fast order fulfillment due to being drop-shipped. We can respond quickly upon our return and make sure everyone gets what they need without too much of a delay. We don’t want to encourage you to purchase a bug we might not be able to ship for two weeks.
