Product Catalog & Offerings

Natural Insect Control (NIC) is a Canadian producer of beneficial nematodes and biological pest-control agents, headquartered in Stevensville, Ontario (postal code L0S 1S0). The product line includes Canadian Lawn Guardian / Beneficial Nematodes (kills lawn grubs; CAD 29.99–214.99), the Hose-End Sprayer (CAD 16.99), Guardian For Fungus Gnat (CAD 19.99–64.99), and the Japanese Beetle Reusable Trap (CAD 44.99). The shop also supplies ladybugs, praying mantis egg cases, fly parasites, and a full suite of IPM monitoring tools — sticky cards, yellow cards, and parasitoid release cards.

Target Pests & Applications

NIC’s biological control programs serve greenhouse growers, home gardeners, orchardists, and turf & landscape professionals across Canada. Targets include aphids, Japanese beetles, gypsy moth, fungus gnats, whiteflies, spider mites, scale insects, leafminers, fleas, ants, flies, and wasps. The company also promotes songbirds and bats — purple martins, hummingbirds, orioles, bluebirds, chickadees — as long-term natural pest control by encouraging backyard feeders and nest boxes.

Team & Research

The team includes founder Susan Cavey (joined full-time in 2004, formerly trained in entomology in Australia), her brother John Robertson (twenty years on Canada’s west coast before returning to take over the family business, focused on solitary bee pollination and bluebird/tree swallow nest-box trails), lead entomologist Stacey Hickman (B.Sc. Honours in Entomology from Brock University, 1997), microbiologist Dr. Miron Teshler (formerly of McGill University’s Biopesticide Lab and Anatis Bioprotection, heading R&D and mass-rearing of entomopathogenic nematodes), plus roughly eight additional full-time staff handling wholesale, dealer accounts, and online distribution.

Ordering & Guarantees

Insect orders close at noon each Friday and ship the following Tuesday. Nematode orders ship Monday through Wednesday. Hard goods ship daily. All live biological control agents (insects and nematodes) carry a 24-hour live-arrival guarantee — viability concerns reported within 24 hours are replaced at no charge.

Clients range from home gardeners and hobbyist growers to commercial greenhouse operators.

Education & Field Updates

NIC publishes a monthly newsletter, In Control – Naturally, with IPM updates. The August 2026 issue profiles Thrips parvispinus — an invasive tropical thrips that can complete its life cycle in as little as two weeks and feeds on more than 100 host plants, including ornamentals, vegetables, cannabis, and tropical houseplants. NIC recommends combining regular scouting, sticky-card monitoring, sanitation, exclusion practices, and timely releases of compatible biological control agents to keep populations below damaging levels. Growers in the Niagara region and across Canada can contact NIC for tailored IPM plans.
