Biological control pits one organism against another

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
Removing a biocontrol agent is harder than halting pesticide use
Due to potential problems, proposed biocontrol use must be carefully planned and regulated
