Trichogramma are minuscule wasps that feed on the eggs of moths and are used for caterpillar control in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. 

Fleas are a persistent problem for pets and yards alike — but nature has a solution. Beneficial nematodes are microscopic roundworms that target flea larvae in the soil, breaking the flea life cycle before it gets out of hand. Safe for people, pets, and plants, they offer an effective, chemical-free approach to flea control in lawns and gardens.

Stratiolaelaps predatory mites actively seek out snake mites and their eggs and help to keep a reptile enclosure pest free and chemical free. 

White grubs are the soil-dwelling larvae of scarab beetles — including Japanese beetles and chafer beetles — and one of the most damaging turf and garden pests. Learn how to identify them, understand their life cycle, and use safe, chemical-free solutions like beneficial nematodes to protect your lawn and plants.

Sometimes the smallest things can become deadly. This is the case with fungal spores that attack and kill insects. Similar to the Cordyceps fame shown on Planet Earth, Beauveria and Isaria have been used for over thirty years to control greenhouse pests. 

Mealybugs are easy to overlook when their numbers are small as they prefer to hide out in cracks and crevices and underneath leaf surfaces. But once they start to reproduce, it's a population explosion.

Sound Horticulture was very busy and active in 2025, completing 25 years of business. Our sales increased, we added new and exciting products and deepened relationships with both customers and vendors. 

Amblyseius andersoni mites remain active over a very wide temperature range and are effective between 43° to 104°F, allowing them to be introduced much earlier in the growing season than other predatory mites.

Parasitoids wasps are a part of the aphid control picture. These tiny creatures lay an egg inside the host. This gives the new wasp shelter (a cozy little aphid mummy hut) and food as it develops and finally exits the host leaving behind an empty shell and a dead aphid.
