Thread: Pest Control

    Smile Pest Control

    I have recently purchased Don Burkes book on growing organic food and I came upon an interesting article on Bio control for pests. Among the listed sites was Bugs for Bugs:

    http://www.bugsforbugs.com.au/produc...eral-predators

    I had no idea you could buy preditory bugs. It could be useful for controling pests in an aquaponics environment. I just thought I'd pass this along.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    Re: Pest Control

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for that link.

    I became aware of the 'Bugs for Bugs' place in Munduberra several years ago.

    The idea of integrated pest management is a great one.......particularly for aquaponics where pest control options are so limited.
