Got pests? Get rid of them the natural way!

One of the most frequently asked questions is how to protect your plants from uninvited pests. We suggest protecting your plants the way Mother Nature intended by using organic and natural solutions thus keeping you, your pets, your plants and trees safe.

Organica K-Neem
Organica K-Neem contains Neem oil which comes from the pressed seed of the Neem tree. It is an effective repellant, insecticide and fungicide. Many Neem products are used in medication and can be consumed by humans, so exposure to Neem does not pose a threat. It is great solution for use on vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, roses, annuals and perennials.

DiPel
DiPel has long been a favorite insecticide of organic gardeners. It is harmless to humans, animals and beneficial insects. Dipel has no withholding period so veggies, fruit and salad ingredients can be washed and eaten immediately after spraying. DiPel offers particularly great protection against the “very hungry” caterpillars.

Beneficial Insects
Nature is filled with "good bugs", crawling and flying creatures whose diet consists mainly of the pests that ravage garden plants. We offer ladybugs and praying mantids to help keep garden pests under control. Ladybugs are the most popular and widely used beneficial insect. They help control aphids and other slow moving pests. Another, garden protector, the Praying Mantis, is the only predator fast enough to catch mosquitoes and flies and they possess a voracious appetite and will eat a variety of insects including aphids, grasshoppers, fruit flies, moths and crickets.
