Caterpillar & Moth Control

Caterpillars are the larvae of moths or butterflies. Some are known as loopers or have the word "worm" in their names, while many have names that refer to the plant they inhabit or the structure they construct (i.e. Cabbage loopers, Tomato Hornworm and Tent caterpillars). They are consider on of the most destructive insect in organic gardens, their cutting mouthparts devour many times their weight as they cause severe damage that could be detrimental to the health of the entire plant.

Moth caterpillars can infest and cause damage not only outdoors but indoors as well. Moths such cloth moths and pantry moths can infest and damage cloths, carpets and grains/food in you pantry.

Think Preventative 

Use general predators to monitor and detect infestations early. When using beneficial insects for natural organic pest control it is a good practice to be preventative.

Release predators like Trichogramma wasps for control and prevention of caterpillars and moths (indoors and outdoors). Trichogramma will work best with moth problems.

Trichogramma wasps, green lacewings, and beneficial nematodes can be used early and regularly throughout the growing seasons before you have an infestation.
