Best Beneficial Pest Control Insects of 2025

"I had a huge fungus gnat infestation. After applying the product, I only see about two gnats now. I'm happy I found this product!"

"I was really struggling with gnats in my houseplants. After using NemaKnights Nematodes, there was a remarkable reduction in gnats within a week!"

"I tried everything to get rid of gnats, and this product was a game-changer. Zero gnats on my sticky pads after three days!"

"I was thrilled to receive my ladybugs! All of them were alive and eager to be released on my bushes to tackle the aphids. They lingered for a few days, but I don't see them anymore. That’s fine with me; I love imagining them thriving somewhere out there."

"When my ladybugs arrived, they were healthy and energetic, ready to feast on the aphid buffet. They came ahead of schedule, which I’m sure they appreciated!"

"I had the worst aphid problem ever, but these beetles wiped them out overnight. They are truly hungry little creatures, and no aphid stands a chance!"

"I love indoor plants but detest the gnats. I tried various home remedies, but nothing worked. After some research, I discovered nematodes that eat the larvae. I applied them and within two weeks, the gnats were nearly gone! They truly are a miracle for my plants."

"Initially, these nematodes worked well, but after a couple of weeks, the gnats came back. I followed all instructions carefully, but I guess I needed more nematodes than I purchased. I’ve had better success with other brands before, so I was a bit disappointed with this one."

"I was skeptical, but after applying these pouches to my gnat-infested terrariums, I noticed a 30% reduction in gnats within a week and a half. By the two-week mark, one terrarium was completely gnat-free! It took some patience, but they definitely work."

"I live in a sandy area and struggled with sand fleas every spring and summer. I found these nematodes after searching for natural flea predators. After applying them, I hadn’t seen a single flea. I buy them every April, and they work wonders! I would give them 100 stars if I could. Now, I'm looking for ones that tackle mosquitoes too!"

"I had a serious fungus gnat problem in my grow tent. After just two weeks of applying the nematodes, the infestation was completely gone! I was initially stressed about the application process, but it turned out to be straightforward. I used a standard garden sprayer and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend these beneficial nematodes for any gardener!"

"I have been dealing with small flies in my basement garden. I tried various methods but nothing worked until I used the beneficial nematodes. After 16 days, I noticed a significant decrease in the fly population. I can see the results just by standing near my plants. This has been a successful experiment for me, and I plan to keep using them!"

"I purchased the Buddy Bugs 1500 Pre-Fed Live Ladybugs for controlling aphids in my garden, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The ladybugs arrived on time and in excellent condition, clearly healthy and active. They got to work right away and have done a remarkable job reducing the aphid population in my indoor garden without harsh chemicals. It's a wonderful, eco-friendly solution. The guarantee of live delivery was reassuring, and Buddy Bugs certainly lived up to its promise. Highly recommend for anyone looking to manage pests naturally!"

"I'm genuinely impressed with this purchase. I didn't expect to be writing a review for ladybugs, but here I am. Not only did these little defense masters eradicate every plant pest, they are so resilient! It's been almost a month since I placed my order, and following care instructions, I just released the last of them today. To my surprise, there were maybe 15 dead ones out of the entire package. They do an excellent job seeking out harmful pests, and they're fun to watch. Highly recommend!"

"The ladybugs were alive and well, and went right to work in our garden eating aphids! Love them!"

“I’m thrilled I went with Clark Ladybugs! They arrived promptly, were well-packaged, and were very active. By morning, I had enough ladybugs for my entire garden. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and love to watch them. I plan to buy more to tackle aphids and other pests!”

“The ladybugs came quickly, along with thorough instructions on their care and life-cycle. It was fascinating to read about them!”

“I've been buying these ladybugs for my garden for the past two seasons. I can release a few at a time and keep the rest in the refrigerator for later. Excellent product!”

"I used this to stop a thrips infestation on my plants. Not only did it stop the infestation, but it also prevented them from spreading. I'm now using these as a preventative and couldn't be happier with the results!"

"After struggling with spider mites, I found these little critters worked wonders! I had tried everything else, and I’m thrilled to say they eliminated my problem. I've purchased them twice now and will continue to use them quarterly as a preventative measure!"

"Initially, I was frustrated when I learned I needed a different type of beneficial mite for my spider mite issue. However, the customer service was fantastic, educating me on the life cycle of the mites. I was really impressed, and they even gave me a refund!"

"I care for a feral cat colony in my backyard. After a severe flea infestation, I discovered these nematodes, and they worked wonders! My flea problem was completely eliminated in two days. Now, I apply them several times during flea season, and I haven't had any issues since. I highly recommend these amazing nematodes!"

"For two years, I struggled with fungus gnats after moving homes. I tried everything, but nothing worked until I soaked all my plants in these nematodes. After just a week, I noticed a huge difference in the number of gnats. My partner even confirmed it! I will definitely keep using them for my new plants."

"I've ordered from this company for almost five years and have always had excellent results. However, my recent experience was frustrating—poor packaging and the nematodes arrived with no movement. I've reached out for a replacement, but I'm upset about the decline in quality. I hope they get back to their usual standards."

"I received my lacewing eggs quickly, and they came with many already hatched larvae. I verified my pest problem and watched a video on how to use them. It's been three weeks since I released them, and I now have adult green lacewings! My plants are showing improvement, especially those with thrips and spider mites."

"I initially placed the first few lacewings I found in my indoor garden, but I realized I needed more. The glue on the cards seemed to keep them stuck, which felt a bit harsh. I really didn’t expect that."

"I ordered lacewing eggs to combat a massive aphid infestation. Although I was excited to see them hatch, I was a bit let down as not all of them hatched, but those that did are doing a great job!"

"I was in shock when the package arrived. The delivery person handed it directly to me, and it felt cold as ice. Inside, there was a heat pack that unfortunately lost its warmth, but I was thrilled to find a hefty amount of predatory mites alive and well! I never expected any survival given the conditions. This has proven to be the most effective method for dealing with fungus gnats and soilborne fly larvae. I'm so happy with the results and will definitely order more!"

"I initially purchased these to help my daughter's snake with a sudden outbreak of snake mites. After battling with daily baths and trying to avoid disturbing the enclosure, these little critters came to the rescue! Several days without any bad mites have passed, and I'm thrilled with the outcome. I prefer using natural methods for animal care and will definitely share my positive experience with others!"

"I got these predatory mites as a last resort when my pet snake had a mite infestation. They arrived alive and included a cute sticker and reusable ice packs. While they worked wonders for my ground-dwelling snake, the arboreal one needed a bit more treatment. Just a tip: make sure there's soil in the enclosure for them to thrive. Overall, I'm satisfied and would use them again for ground-dwelling reptiles!"
