Biological control isn’t just for greenhouses. This session shows landscape pros exactly where biocontrols deliver in outdoor sites—and how to package, price, and market those services. We’ll cover conservation tactics (flowering strips, mow/trim timing, refugia), targeted augmentations (predatory mites for spider mites, entomopathogenic nematodes for grubs, Bt/Beauveria for caterpillars/soft-bodied pests), and when to integrate soft chemistries. Then we’ll translate that into business: service tiers, pricing models (retainer + materials), client messaging that avoids “organic” traps, and ROI math that sells. Leave with SOPs, a one-page service menu, and a simple margin calculator.
