Beneficial Insects and IPM Pest Controls

Help protect your plants

 

At Art's Nursery, we offer a diverse selection of beneficial insects, providing environmentally friendly solutions for insect and pest control. These natural predators are an excellent way to keep your garden healthy and thriving without relying on harsh chemicals. As of Spring 2024, we will be transitioning to a special order system for most of our beneficial insects. This change allows us to better tailor our offerings to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the right pests at the right time for optimal effectiveness. For detailed information or assistance in selecting the right beneficial insects for your garden, our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) team is here to help. They can guide you in making informed decisions that align with your gardening goals. To speak with a member of our IPM team or any of our knowledgeable staff, we recommend calling ahead at 604.882.1201. You can also reach out via email at orders@artsnursery.com for more personalized assistance or general inquiries. Thank you for choosing Art's Nursery for your gardening needs.

We look forward to helping you cultivate a thriving, pest-free garden!
