3 Beneficial Insects that will SAVE Your Vegetable Garden (and how to attract them) – Dr Paul Horne

This video is all about Beneficial insects for pest control in your vegetable gardens – in particular lacewings, ladybirds, hoverflies, bees and butterflies!

I interviewed Entomologist Dr Paul Horne – director of IPM Technologies – (entomologist = insect expert!) to learn about the secret allies of every successful vegetable garden in Australia.

We’ll cover off how to identify adult lacewings, ladybirds, hoverflies and other beneficial insects, how to identify their eggs and larva (juveniles), what they do, which pests they control and how to attract them into your Australian Vegetable Gardens.

Learn how to protect your plants naturally, say goodbye to harmful pests and hello to a thriving, chemical-free veggie garden!
