Not every pest is thrips, aphids, whitefly, or mites — and when something unusual shows up, the right move is to identify it first, then match it to the right beneficial. Here's how.
Crops face a long tail of common greenhouse pests beyond the big four — from broad and russet mites to springtails, occasional beetles, and new invaders. This collection helps you identify them and shows how to choose beneficial insects to control them naturally.
Identify the pest first
Accurate ID drives the right solution: confirm whether you're dealing with a leaf-feeder, a soil dweller, or a sap-sucker, and whether eggs, larvae, or adults are present. Sticky cards and a hand lens make scouting reliable — and when in doubt, an IPM specialist can confirm the species.
How to choose the right beneficials
Foliar pests call for predatory mites, lacewings, or pirate bugs; soil pests for nematodes, soil mites, and rove beetles; and many situations benefit from a generalist predator plus a horticultural oil for knockdown.
What's in this collection
- STRATIOforce and NEMAforce — soil predators and nematodes for media-dwelling pests.
- CHRYSOforce R green lacewings — a broad generalist predator.
- SuffOil-X — horticultural oil for compatible knockdown across many pests.
Frequently asked questions
What are the most common greenhouse pests?
Thrips, aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites lead, followed by fungus gnats, mealybugs, scale, caterpillars, and leafminers.
How do I choose the right beneficial insect?
Identify the pest and its stage, then match it: predatory mites and pirate bugs for foliar pests, nematodes and soil mites for the root zone, and generalists like lacewings for mixed pressure.
Can I use several beneficials together?
Yes — most beneficials are compatible and often work better combined, covering different pests and life stages at once.
What if I can't identify the pest?
Trap a sample on a sticky card and use a hand lens, or contact an IPM specialist — correct ID is the key to picking the right beneficial.
