Rick’s wife, Sheri, had a passion for the environment and the two teamed up to become pioneers of organic growing, promoting their philosophy of “bio-balance” by offering customers sustainable pest control alternatives.
We proudly rear insects at our insectary in Catalina, AZ.
In the early ’80s, as demands for Fly Eliminators grew, ARBICO expanded to a 10 acre facility nestled in the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson.
