Beneficial Insect Products to Control Bad Guys
In our discussion about Attracting Beneficial Insects To The Landscape we give lots of tips about how to increase the number of bene bugs in your yard to the sadness of the pest insects sneaking around. In this section of Yardener's Tool Shed we give you access to virtually all the reasources offering beneficial insects or devices to attract beneficial insects to your yard.

Using Beneficial Insects
In some cases in Yardener’s Helper we offer as an option to control certain pest insects the use of commercially available live beneficial insects. Homeowners with greenhouses or sunspaces may find releasing beneficial insects very valuable in protecting those plants from problems.

Attracting Beneficial Insects To The Yard
By far, most of the bugs, beetles, and flies calling your yard home are either beneficial to your ecosystem or are benign and cause no harm. What is also somewhat astounding is that in a healthy ecosystem, 80% of the pest insects that visit your yard will be killed within months either by weather, by song birds, or by beneficial insects.

Beneficial insects in the garden: #20 Praying Mantis - Mantids
Just as the gypsy moth has nothing to do with gypsies and the emperor scorpion has nothing to do with emperors, so the praying mantis (Stagmomantus sp.) has nothing to do with praying. Perhaps that is why mantids are one of the first species that comes to mind when the term “beneficial insect” is mentioned.

Beneficials in the garden & landscape: Our Insect Collection
Our goal for establishing and maintaining an insect collection is to provide an educational resource for Master Gardeners and the general public. For example, we utilize our collection for comparison to specimens that are brought to the Galveston County Extension Office by county residents for identification.
