Natural Enemies

Natural Enemies is a leading distributor of beneficial insects in commercial cannabis production. Following the legalization of recreational cultivation in WA state, Natural Enemies has helped numerous cannabis growers transition away from harmful chemical sprays to managing pest populations with beneficial insects. Our team’s vast knowledge and background in commercial horticulture and plant propagation allows us to build programs that are specific to each grower’s needs.

Natural Enemies works with growers in pest management using biological controls. We provide predatory mites to control fungus gnats, root aphids, spider and other pest mites, and thrip. We consult with growers to come up with a plan that is personalized to their needs to help keep them pesticide free.

Natural Enemies was founded in 2014 when owner Shane Young saw the emerging cannabis market and the need to help educate cultivators on the effective use of BCA’s (Biological Control Agents). Shane left his job as Plant Health Manager, jumped in his car, and started knocking on warehouse doors in Oregon and Washington. Over the past four years, Shane and his team have established Natural Enemies as a leader in Chemical-Free Pest Management in Commercial Cannabis Cultivation. Natural Enemies strives to provide superior customer service, continuing education, and personalized plans for each of our commercial customers.
