Know your enemy.
We know theirs.
Spider Mites
Tiny webs, stippled leaves. One of the most common — and destructive — houseplant pests.
Shop solutionsThrips
Silver streaks and distorted new growth. Thrips are fast-moving and hard to eliminate with chemicals alone.
Shop solutionsAphids
Soft-bodied and colony-forming. They drain plant sap fast and spread to neighboring plants quickly.
Shop solutionsFungus Gnats
The larvae are the real problem — they feed on roots in the soil while you're busy swatting the adults.
Shop solutionsMealybugs
White cottony clusters in leaf joints. Stubborn, sticky, and a nightmare for collectors.
Shop solutionsRoot Rot
Yellowing leaves, mushy stems, collapsing plants. Often caused by overwatering but treatable biologically.
Shop solutionsThese guys SAVED my collection. The benes arrived quickly and went into action immediately.
I will never go back to pesticides again.
I've never been so hopeful in my pest pressure battle as I am now.
My preferred pest control professional.
Releasing the cracken on these thrips immediately!!

Let customers speak for us
Everything was well packaged and shipped very fast!
10/10 recommend!
Benefecials arrived quickly & in seemingly great health!
So far so good! I've seen Less webbing and little red mites indicating that the spider mites are being eaten. Karen, who I have been back and forth with email, has been a treat to deal with! She is incredibly knowledgeable and not afraid to share that knowledge even on a beginner level with me. I have also decided to exclusively start using beneficials instead of sprays thanks to my experience and her help.
All in all this has been above expectations on every department!
Love these ladybugs, they are now my soldiers and I have launched my attack on the war against the spider mites in my garden. I released them last night and this morning still chowing down.
Super excited for my ladybugs. Fast shipping
There were a lot of them in here. I put them next to some plants thinking they would need to be contained for a bit... but they climbed up on those and started eating right away. I've put these on auto-order.
Thanks!
The plant I received was much larger, and healthier than I expected. It bounced back from shipping stress within a day and is looking gorgeous. I will definitely be ordering from this seller again in the future.
I never saw any of the predatory mites, but the evidence I had of spider mites never showed up again. Low maintenance, natural option for an indoor hydroponic Gardyn.
My lady bugs were very active on their arrival. They have been a lovely addition to my greenhouse.

What Is an Aroid?
Aroids evolved to solve the hardest problem in the rainforest—how to live with too little light and too much competition. The result? Some of the most beautiful plants on Earth.
How to Keep Variegated Leaves Through Winter
Winter light can turn your prized variegated leaves solid green. It isn’t bad care—it’s survival. Learn why plants shift their patterns when days get shorter, and how steady light and warmth can help keep the white in your Monstera or Philodendron from fading away.
Can Plants Hear Touch?
Plants don’t have ears, but they aren’t deaf to their surroundings. From sensing a fingertip brush to detecting the vibrations of chewing insects, plants register touch and sound through finely tuned cellular systems — and even change how they grow in response.
