Mission
Our mission is to support growers in creating and maintaining successful biological control programs in their unique growing environment. We provide quality beneficial insects and microbial solutions for the professional grower, farmer and to the green industry.
We provide a carefully curated array of the most useful beneficial insects available, and combine this approach with biological products that are synergistic with your goals to reduce chemical inputs in your operation.

Take a closer look at just a few of the crop systems we can assist you with. This just scratches the surface, so ask our team if you don’t see your specialty crop.
At Spokane Community College Greenhouse, we strive to produce the highest quality plants while implementing biological pest control. We grow hundreds of different crops within a total of 6000 square feet. We rely on Sound Horticulture for supplying controls that we can rely on. The staff is always very helpful determining which choices are best for a specific IPM. After several years, our greenhouses have become healthier and customers truly appreciate the efforts of our decisions.
Sound Horticulture is not only an excellent company, but a very knowledgeable resource. They provide high-end products at reasonable prices. We as a business can always rely on the Sound Horticulture team to provide our shipments on time every time. They’ve helped me combat and exterminate russets mites, one of the hardest pests to get rid of in cultivation. Hands down the nicest and most professional group doing pest management. I would recommend this company until I’m blue in the face.
In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes and I have been associated with Alison for over 20 years. She introduced us to the Compost Tea systems in the beginning and since then has been an amazing source of information and products. I have never met anyone as passionate and compassionate about the earth and all of its inhabitants. Sound Horticulture is the best source of information, materials, and help to understand the steps for the best results in the horticultural business. Alison and her team are amazing.

Longtailed mealybug (Pseudococcus longispinus) can be identified by their long waxy filaments that protrude from the end of the abdomen. Longtailed mealybug can be a major problem on plants grown in conservatories. For biocontrol try the mealybug destroyer, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. Both larval and adult stages of this predator will actively feed on mealybug. Visit Soundhorticulture.com for more info!

Propagation is the best time to start biocontrols. Keep scouting for pests and plan ahead for the usual suspects!
