LADY BUGS
A favorite "good bug," ladybugs have been a popular part of the Orcon line of beneficial insects for the past 20 years. When released at sundown (because they don't fly at night), ladybugs eat aphids, mealy bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and other destructive pests. And they keep on eating until the bad guys are gone, laying their own eggs in the process. When new pests arrive, fresh ladybugs will be waiting. Your customer will love them because ladybugs really work, plus they will be doing something favorable for the environment. And, you will like them because they create new traffic and give your store a positive image.

GREEN LACEWINGS
Larvae are called "Aphid Lyons"because they can eat a 1,000 aphids a day! They also consume soft body insects such as mealy bugs, whitefly larvae, mites, etc.

PRAYING MANTIDS
These ferocious looking creatures eat a wide variety of insects: beetles, caterpillars, grubs, aphids, grass-hoppers, almost anything that moves. But they are so much fun that many people buy them for pets. And since they don't fly, they stay right in the area where they are released. Like ladybugs, preying mantids are completely harmless to people, pets, and the environment.

BENEFICIAL NEMATODES
These microscopic insects will seek out and destroy over 200 kinds of soil dwelling and wood boring insects, including cutworms, armyworms, rootworms, weevils, grubs, fungus gnat larvae, and many more. They are completely safe for people, pets, and the environment, and are compatible with other beneficial insects. Beneficial nematodes are shipped live in the box and may be mixed directly into the soil and are applied with a sprayer.

FLEA DESTROYER
100% natural and easy to use. It is applied by mixing with water and spraying the affected area. It is harmless to people, pets, and the environment. Kills fleas in the yard and garden where they breed. Millions of microscopic organisms that penetrate the body of juvenile fleas living in the soil. After killing the juveniles they will reproduce and continue searching for more pest victims. To have effective flea control, a three part program is important: Fleas must be attacked: 1. on pets and animals 2. in the carpet and upholstery and 3. outside in the yard and garden While many products are available offering flea control, Flea Destroyer is the solution for the crucial 3rd step - outdoor flea control.

DECOLLATE SNAILS
Decollate Snails will actually attack brown garden snails and eat them! And rather than slime around on walkways, they prefer to remain just under the surface which keeps them out of sight. Decollates will also feed on dead leaves which keeps them fed until they can find more snails. Decollate snails are shipped live in the box and may be introduced directly into the soil.

LIVE EARTHWORMS
Earthworms eat and burrow twenty-four hours a day! All of this tunneling aerates the soil (getting oxygen to the roots), allows for easier root growth, and improves water retention. They are a natural tie in for cold composting. Earthworms help keep the soil loose. Mother Nature doesn't own a spade! Earthworms consume ordinary soil and cast it back with more nutrients available to plants. These "castings" release their nutrients slowly and do not leach out with watering.

TRICHOGRAMMA
Tiny parasites that lay their egges inside caterpillar and moth eggs. The Trichogramma eggs hatch feed on the pest egges which kills them, then they emerge as adults to continue the cycle.
