Since our beginning in 1980, we have been world leaders in the introduction and implementation of biological pest controls. Applied was the first company to introduce growers to many now-familiar products including; Stratiolaelaps scimitus (previously called Hypoaspis miles), Stethorus punctillum, and Delphastus catalinae.

Our products are used internationally in such varied applications as in banana crops in Costa Rica, arborvitae in Oregon, pepper crops in British Columbia, roses in Holland, hops in Washington State, and butterfly conservatories in Niagara, Ontario. Most of our products are equally suited to outdoor gardens and glasshouses.

In 2005, Applied decided to eliminate all cold storage of our products. Repeated scientific trials showed consistently that any duration of storage below 8 to 9 degrees Celsius impaired both the searching ability of the flying insects and the sex ratios in the mites – factors critical to efficacy in crops. Being at both the cutting edge of research and always ensuring quality over quantity, we have been able to provide bio-control for more sensitive crops and offer more cost-efficient and successful bio-control programs.
