Biological Solutions For Pest Management Since 1950
RVI produces and distributes insects and other organisms, supplies and tools for biological control of pests. We have been pioneering the use of natural enemies to in Integrated Pest Management for over 50 years.
From Insects to Microbes
Biological control programs use predators, parasites, pathogens and antagonists and build on active beneficial microbes in soil. We are the distributor for D-Vac vacuum insect sampling equipment.
From Farms to Laboratories
This site will guide you in the selection of resources to deal with pest problems. 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 small and large facilities that handle animal manure and waste. Hundreds of universities use RVI as their source of organisms for research and instructional materials. We offer one place where you can obtain all commercially available biocontrol organisms and supporting tools and information.
Cost Effective and Environmentally Sound
We want you to succeed using biological control by natural enemies, so we emphasize programs versus products. You need to consider the factors that influence the balance between predator and prey. See our bulletins for more information on biocontrol for different crops and pests.
