About Us

In 1975 Foothill Lemon Company established an insectary to mass rear Aphytis melinus, a parasitoid for California red scale. More than 30 years later, FAR is one of the largest producer of Aphytis in the world, producing over one billion each year. Since FAR’s founding, we have developed many innovative rearing techniques and processes. FAR’s research and development has resulted in a great increase in production. Our high inventory allows us to deliver an effective pest management solution at a low cost.
