Biological Insect Control

Early’s Weekly Biological Controls Special Orders

At Early’s, we special order biological controls weekly for both commercial growers and home gardeners. Whether you're managing a large greenhouse operation or caring for a few plants at home, we make it easy to access natural, effective pest control solutions.

What Are Biological Controls?

Biological controls are a natural method of managing pests using living beneficial organisms. These can include predatory insects, beneficial mites, parasitic wasps, and nematodes that actively target and reduce pest populations.

They work by:

  • Feeding on harmful pests
  • Interrupting pest life cycles
  • Establishing a natural balance in your growing environment

This approach mirrors how nature keeps pests in check—without the need for harsh chemicals.

A Natural Solution You Can Trust

We source our biological controls from trusted suppliers like Plant Products and Biobest Canada, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

Biologicals are suitable for:

  • Greenhouses
  • Indoor growing spaces
  • Outdoor gardens

Why Choose Biological Controls?

 Targeted Pest Control

 Safe for People & Pets

A safer option for use around homes, workplaces, and public environments.

Quality Assurance & Storage

Upon arrival, our Bug Experts perform a quality assurance (QA) test to ensure the viability of all biological products. If there is an issue, we will alert you immediately and discuss your options.

While the products are in our care, we store them appropriately to maintain optimal conditions until pickup or shipping. After the product has been picked up or shipped, we cannot guarantee the storage or environmental conditions, and any risks from this point onward are the responsibility of the customer.

We will always do everything in our power to ensure biologicals are looked after and stored properly while in our care.

Order Weekly, Grow Naturally

Because biological controls are living organisms, freshness and timing matter. For best results:

  • All biologicals should be used and applied to your plants as soon as possible
  • If you are unable to pick up your product in a timely manner, let us know so we can continue proper storage or plan for shipping
  • We recommend picking up your product within 1–2 days of its arrival at Early’s for the most viable bugs and best results

Our weekly special order program ensures you receive viable, effective products when you need them.
