Dovebugs Information

Safe Insect Control

 

What are Dovebugs?

Dovebugs are a safe way to control the common glasshouse and conservatory pests.  Commercial growers have successfully used the biological method of control for many years and Dove Associates has been advising growers on their application and integration with traditional pest control methods. What has become standard practice in commercial growing is now available to the home gardener.

Visit your local garden centre who will fax through to us your name and address and we will dispatch your Dovebugs to your door.  Orders received by close of business Friday are dispatched the following week and be with you before the weekend, with the exception of Nemaslug(R).
