Biological Pest Control 9-8 |
Other Beneficial Insects
| Two other insects that are always considered beneficial are ladybugs and lacewings. Both are predators, known for their voracious appetites and broad diet of insects. Both of these predators will help control almost every pest insect that we have discussed with the exclusion of the beet armyworm. |

Both the ladybug and lacewing actively feed and consume
problem pests in the larval stage as well as the adult stage.
Ladybugs and lacewings are a welcome addition to any
garden, farm or greenhouse.
