We have bugs! (the good kind ๐Ÿž)

We just got in a shipment of ladybugs, praying mantis, and beneficial nematodes! These little crawlers are the most natural way to combat whatever is eating your garden ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Why choose beneficial insects over spraying a pesticide? Over-spraying pesticides can lead to resistance in your local pest population, meaning that each time your spray it will be less effective. Additionally, beneficial bugs are non-toxic to you, your kids, your pets, non-target organisms, and your plants. Adding insects into your environment also helps maintain biodiversity, which creates a more resilient and healthy environment. Plus, they're fun, and you can't convince me otherwise ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
