Nobody really notices us but we are present in great numbers. We are introduced into the greenhouses to do what comes naturally. We are the predatory insects and we eat the bad insects that harm plants. Instead of harsh insecticides that would kill all of us, we are enlisted to do the job of insect control. We love our job because it entails eating our favorite foods. We even get extra help from frogs and toads that live in the greenhouses because there are no poisonous insecticides to kill them.
We are all a happy, healthy, family in the greenhouses at Glacial Ridge Growers. No poisonous neo-nics here, just us predatory insects; like lace wings, aphid predators, and soil nematodes to keep the environment safe for the plants. We enjoy being the “good guys” just doing what comes naturally.
