​Ontario Beetles supplies biological control agents, provides monitoring support and helps develop and implement management options for invasive purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.).   We have released Neogalerucella spp. beetles (formerly of the genus Galerucella) at more than 500 locations across Ontario and have worked with federal, provincial and municipal agencies, academic institutions, conservation organizations and private landowners to provide professional services and sound consultation.  Please contact us today if you would like more information.
