| | Mighty mites battle bindweed |
 | | Bindweed's growth habits have made it the bane of gardeners across the country. |
 | | Despite its tremendous ability to survive and spread, bindweed is not considered such a nuisance in its native Eurasia, partially because the bindweed gall mite keeps it in check. |
 | | In addition to bindweed, the insectary also has biological control agents for leafy spurge, diffuse and spotted knapweed, Russian thistle, tall larkspur, puncturevine, musk thistle, yellow and Dalmatian toadflax, bull thistle, Canada thistle, purple loosestrife and poison hemlock, as well as a number of pest insects. |
