This morning we hosted an informational tour of our facilities to the Garden Club of Santa Barbara. Five stations throughout the bug farm featured Deke’s Five Features of Integrated Pest Management: Releasing Beneficial Insects, Build Beneficial Refuges & Habitats, Monitor Insect Ecology, Integrate Cultural Practices and Use Soft Pesticides & Avoid Toxic Chemicals. Our sixth station featured a behind the scenes look of production back in Fly Alley.
