Product Updates 01/15/2025 – Ecology Supplies
🚀🪲 We are kicking off 2025 with Gratitude and Excitement! 🎉🦋 2024 was an incredible year of growth for us. We made a big move to our new facility in New Jersey—more space means more opportunities! We attended more conferences, meeting amazing people and sharing our mission! Finally, we expanded our product lines to fill even more of the entomological supply gap!
If you are new to our Net-Work We are doing our best to be as transparent as possible through these posts on product timelines.
💡 As always, if there are any particular supplies or equipment that you are having trouble sourcing, please reach out so we can add it to our list of production plans! We want to hear from you! 💡
Finally, THANK YOU to the community of people that provide product feedback, we would not be able to do this work without you!
