Introducing Beneficial Insects to Battle Pest Invaders

Beneficial insects are natural predators of the other insects, homeowners and property managers consider to be pests; because they inflict damage on homes and property. For example, a beneficial insect and natural predator of spiders and termites, is the Assassin bug. This remarkable insect provides an effective and natural termite and spider control alternative; to traditional pest control methods.

Although live specimens and eggs of beneficial insects are widely available, providing a favorable environment that uses the appropriate plants to provide cover, will attract most of these natural predators naturally. By taking the time to create a supportive environment, that includes plants found in the Apiaceae and Asteraceae families, and actively encouraging ongoing the growth and development of beneficial insects; homeowners can dispatch their own staff of natural pest control workers.
