The company was officially formed into Wyebugs in 1991, with a launch at the Chelsea flower show they offered biocontrol products for mail order from as little as £3.00.
The biocontrol market was soon recognised as being very viable and other companies started coming on board. Due to Wyebugs being more focuses on research and development they outsourced the retail side to companies with a better set up.
They went on to work with none agricultural companies dealing with life threatening disease carriers like mosquitos.
When the Wye college merged with imperial college London the company decided to ditch higher education in 2002 and launch a fully commercial business. This business continues today and are endorsed by DEFRA.
Given my own personal interest in entomology and seeing that I missed the best bits on my trip here a few years ago I thought I needed to take a look. Having a lazy sunday afternoon with a friend who only likes the lowest key of outings, this seemed the perfect spot. Best bugs seemed to have gained new life and walked off.
