Description: Biological control (Biocontrol) = uses a pest’s natural predators to control the pest

No one can predict the effects of an introduced species
The agent may have “nontarget” effects on the environment and surrounding economies

Due to potential problems, proposed biocontrol use must be carefully planned and regulated
