Your tool kit for doing biological control
RVI produces and distributes primarily by mail order insects and other organisms and supplies for biological control of pests. If product pick-up at the facility is desired, please call to make an appointment.
Biological control programs use predators, parasites, pathogens and antagonists and build on active beneficial microbes in soil. We distribute D-Vac vacuum insect sampling equipment and snail, slug, yellow-jacket and fly traps.
Among our thousands of customers are small to mid size farms, orchards, greenhouses, nurseries, and public gardens and gardeners. Our fly control programs successfully treat facilities that handle animal manure and waste.
