Welcome to Manchil IPM Services new website, we hope that the information on this page gives you an insight into the advantages of integrated pest management and the services that are provided by Manchil IPM Services.

Manchil IPM Services provides an insect and disease  monitoring service for horticultural crops. We also produce biological control agents as well as supplying an additional range of beneficial insects from other insectaries from around Australia. The aim is to minimise chemical applications to crops and to increase grower’s crop yields.

Manchil IPM Services is based at Bullsbrook, 40 km north east of Perth, W.A., where the rearing of the beneficial insects takes place. We regularly monitor the horticultural areas of Wanneroo, Carabooda, Gin Gin, Bullsbrook, Baldivis, Mt Barker and Albany.

While our monitoring service is aimed at commercial growers, smaller hobby farmers/home gardeners are still able to obtain our beneficials either directly from us, or from several retail outlets that stock the insects.
