2018

This past year we have been very active addressing regulatory issues that have been impacting the shipping of our beneficials!  We have been working to add language to the 2018 Farm Bill that will ensure our beneficial insects, mites, and nematodes are only regulated by the USDA-APHIS-PPQ, as they have been for many years.  Our biocontrol species are not wildlife and have been reared in insectaries and laboratories for years and have been very thoroughly vetted through permitting protocols.  We have experienced difficulties with other US agencies and wish to clarify this officially.  Read a full account of our regulatory activites for 2018 here...
