Bio-Shield

Organic solution for:

THRIPS! FUNGUS GNATS! ROOT APHIDS! ANTS! SOIL PESTS!

Bag your roots to stop the bugs

BIO-SHIELD™ is a mesh bag system that acts as a protective shield for your roots. It denies thrips, fungus gnats, root aphids and other soil-dwelling pests access to your soil & roots. This disrupts their breeding cycle. BIO-SHIELD™ minimizes pest access to habitat while enhancing the effectiveness of targeted countermeasures. 

BIO-SHIELD™ pays for itself by increasing yields while reducing the cost of labor, supplies and maintenance. 

Indefinitely reusable.

WHAT IS BIO-SHIELD™?

Bio-Shield™ is a patent protected semi-permeable 75-micron mesh bag system that secures the rootball of a plant, while allowing water, nutrients and air to pass through. It protects from infestations of insects like fungus gnats, root aphids, thrips, wire worms, ants, grubs any other pest that lives, feeds or pupates in the soil.

It works three ways. First, it keeps pests off your roots. Second, if pests are already present, Bio-Shield™ removes their ability to  leave the soil to lay eggs, thus breaking their life cycle. It also concentrates the effectiveness of countermeasures deployed to the protected root-balls.

When your plants’ roots grow healthy, without insect pressure, they’ll grow more vigorously, increasing plant health and yields. You can spend more time caring for your garden vs. battling bugs or repeatedly applying harmful & expensive pesticides.

YOU CAN WATER YOUR PLANTS
RIGHT THROUGH BIO-SHIELD™ OR USE THE EMITTER PORT.

Preventatively and Curatively 

For emitters: Bio-Shield has a velcro pass-through sleeve at the top. Run your waterline into the bags without puncturing them.

1. For plants without infestations

Bio-Shield™ works as a protective screen. It removes access to the habitat pests use to feed and breed on your plants. The key to Bio-Shield™ is that it disrupts the life cycle of pests. The holes are too small for adults, larvae or nymphs to pass though.

2. For plants with existing infections

Bio-Shield™ traps existing insects inside, like “bug jail”, where they are contained.  This interrupts their life-cycle.  Winged adults can’t leave the soil to feed, lay eggs or spread.  Predator insects (e.g. atheta rove beetles or statiolaelaps scimitus) are highly effective inside Bio-Shield bags because their prey is trapped.

OPTIMIZING BIO-SHIELD™.

The more thoroughly you deploy BIO-SHIELD™ the less habitat there is for pests to breed and destroy your plants. If you’re operating in a commercial agriculture setting, sometimes it’s difficult to shield every plant – particularly the small ones or nursery starts.

In all cases, it’s best to start by covering your largest plants first (the most pest habitat) and then move towards the smaller containers. We manufacture BIO-SHIELD™ for all standard sized containers and Deltas, but we can customize sizes if your plants need something specific.
