IPM Labs' mission is to supply beneficial organisms for the biological control of pests and to support their successful use. We produce 7 species of beneficial organisms and distribute more than 45 other species.
IPM Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 1981 as IPM Services and offered pest management and consulting. In 1985 we began producing beneficial insects and incorporated under our current name. In 1988 we published our first catalog and newsletter for the greenhouse and nursery industry.
Today we supply beneficial insects and information (in the form of articles, fact sheets and conference presentations) on integrated pest management, individual pests and environments. Our region is nationwide.
