Biological Solutions For Pest Management Since 1950
RVI produces and distributes insects and other organisms, supplies and tools for biological control of pests. We are pioneers in the use of natural enemies in ecologically based pest management.
From Insects to Microbes to D-Vac
Biological control programs may include commercially available predators, parasites, pathogens and antagonists. We advise starting with biologically active soils that may get a boost from our line of inoculants. We have microbial and botanical pesticides when the natural enemies are a little too little or a little too late. Production scale programs are best designed based on the kind of monitoring only obtainabale using our D-Vac vacuum insect sampling equipment.
From Farms to Laboratories
Among our thousands of customers are small to mid size farms, orchards, greenhouses, nurseries, public gardens and gardeners. Our fly control programs treat small and large facilities that handle animal manure and waste. Hundreds of universities call RVI for organisms for research and instruction.
Cost Effective and Environmentally Sound
Our technical support centers on the Five Features of IPM, the theme of the latest edition of our Catalog of Beneficials. Programs for success consider the agricultural practices and other factors that influence the balance between predator and prey. Our bulletins offer insights based on many years of experience applying knowledge from Deke's Five Features. A new website is in the making with easier navigation to more information and perspectives you won't find anywhere else.
