Do you know where we can purchase Cinnabar moth larvae? And or the Beatles? We have pulled our tansy by hand for years but we've having a hard time getting them under control and are looking for a non toxic way to control them.

Hello,
Unfortunately the cinnabar moth larvae (or other biocontrol agents) are not available for purchase. They are distributed throughout the valley however, so it is possible you will see some on your property in the future. Below is an article about management of tansy.
