beneficial insects for gardens
If you’ve ever had flowers that just wouldn’t bloom right, vegetables that looked stressed, or plants with strange speckling, curling, or damaged leaves… there’s a good chance you were dealing with thrips — one of the most common (and most overlooked) pest in home gardens.
That’s where this program comes in.
Our Beneficial Bug Subscription is designed to help you protect your garden naturally using beneficial insects (“good bugs”) that control harmful pests before they become a problem.
Natural Pest Control Delivered Monthly
april - september
JOIN OUR LIST - BE NOTIFIED WHEN GOOD BUG CLUB IS LIVE
You’ll be billed $89/month and receive scheduled deliveries of beneficial insects throughout the growing season.
Every 2 weeks, a delivery of predatory mites will arrive right to your doorstep. Once they arrive, you’ll have 48 hours to sprinkle your good bugs into your flower beds, pots, or raised beds.
Each treatment covers up to 2,000 sq. ft.
This subscription typically runs from April through September, which is the peak season for thrips activity and the time when beneficial insects are most effective.
Prefer to start later or stop earlier? No problem. We can adjust your start and end dates based on when you plant.
How It Works
predatory mites for thrips
These are the exact same beneficial mites we’ve been using in our shrubyard and greenhouse over the last few years — and we’ve had incredible success.
The key isn’t waiting until you see a major infestation.
The key is consistency.
Even when there is minimal to no evidence of thrip activity, we continue releasing beneficial insects on schedule. Thrips are constantly introduced into garden centers and home gardens through new plants, soil, and seasonal plantings, so prevention is everything.
Last fall, before the thrip population ever got high, we started releasing beneficial insects on a schedule created specifically for us. We stayed consistent all summer and fall, even when activity was low… and the result was highly controlled — almost completely controlled — thrip populations across the shrubyard.
This same approach is simple to replicate in a home garden setting.
Why This Works

This program supports organic, chemical-free gardening and helps protect the insects you actually want around your plants, including:
• Butterflies
• Bees
• Ladybugs
• Praying mantis
• Other natural pollinators and beneficial predators
No harsh chemicals. No spraying cycles. No guessing.
Just a healthy garden ecosystem that works the way it was designed to.
Why Beneficial Bugs Instead of Chemicals
garden pest prevention
Each month you’ll receive beneficial insects selected specifically for thrip prevention and control, plus access to our educational library so you know exactly what to do when your delivery arrives.
You’ll receive a link to our online education hub, including:
• Thrip education + identification
• Videos on how to distribute your beneficial insects
• Release timing and placement tips
• Restrictions on chemical use (important!)
• Best practices for storing and handling
• Other garden considerations to improve success
We make it simple, clear, and doable — even if you’ve never used beneficial insects before.
