About:

DMV Beneficials is a national organization dedicated to providing the highest quality beneficial insects to the houseplant and home garden community. We offer two methods for ordering beneficials: through a local chapter delivered to a central pickup location or through this webshop delivered directly to your home!

For successful pest management, it’s important to stay away from purchasing beneficials through Amazon, live sales platforms, or disreputable sellers. Our beneficial insects are shipped overnight straight from the insectary where they are reared — Beneficial Insectary — reducing transit times and temperature fluctuations caused by long-term storage or repackaging.

We also advise on plant pest identification, provide targeted treatment plans, and connect growers with a community of plant enthusiasts who believe in informed pest management using beneficial insects. Explore our website for information about houseplant pests, beneficial insects, treatment plans, release tutorials, and more! 

If you’re interested in ordering for local pickup through one of our chapters, check out our chapter directory for more information. If you’re not sure what you need, please feel free to send us an email or fill out our consult form, and one of our trained pest management experts will help you with a treatment or prevention plan.
