Biological pest control is based on utilizing highly specific, naturally-occurring insect-infecting bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and fungi. These products are very effective against their target insects but are non-toxic to humans, pets, wildlife, and beneficial insects. Biopesticides are also short-lived in the environment and are less likely to result in insect resistance than synthetic chemicals. In addition to fighting disease and pests, these organisms benefit your soil and plants by decomposing organic matter, releasing nutrients for absorption, and helping improve the tilth of the soil.
