Beneficial Insects - Laguna Niguel

Not all bugs are created equal. The difference between those that are beneficial and those that aren’t is whether they savor your plants and crops or if they have an appetite for other insects. 

We'll help you recognize and protect beneficials in your garden in a discussion of predators and the types of pests they prey on, then how parasites function, and a description of their lifecycle. 

You will also learn about pathogens (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, viruses), how they operate, and the role of lizards and native birds in the control of the insect population.
