Associates Insectary is a farming company that breeds beneficial insects and mites for pest management in crops. It produces species such as the Mealybug Destroyer beetle, Neoseiulus californicus predatory mites, and Aphytis melinus wasps, which help regulate pest populations in orchards and other crops. While most of these organisms are released in its Member groves, a growing portion is sold to outside distributors and growers across North America. The operation runs year-round, raising roughly two million organisms each day and hundreds of millions annually.
Based in Santa Paula, California, the company was founded in 1928, and over the decades it has expanded its facilities and capacity to become one of the largest domestic suppliers of beneficial organisms to resale distributors and growers across North America.
