A natural predator of the pest to be controlled is introduced, for example hedgehogs naturally predate slugs, and ladybirds feed on aphids, so these are very desirable animals to have in the garden. Unfortunately, sometimes in nation-wide schemes an invasive species has been introduced and taken over and is now causing problems, for example the cane toad in Australia.
That would be not using any chemicals or bug sprays. Biological pest control consists of using a natural predator to eradicate the problem pest. Like turning ladybugs loose on a bush that is infested with aphids.
In chemical control some kind of chemical is the killing agent, while in biological control the killing agent is a live organism. It may be a predetor or a bacteria or a paracite or fungi. While the definition is simple there is a multitude of implications. A chemical may be long lasting or degradable, but it never thinks nor can it reproduce. Both can have side effects which at times cause more damage then the original pest/disease they were meant to treat does.

Biological control consists of using predator pests to control the target species. It is becoming quite a common practice in commercial orchard and farming operations. A predator insect is introduced to the crop and it then consumes the pest that is causing grief. Mites are one in particular that are very difficult to remove with traditional pesticides but predator mites usually give great results. They can be bought at commercial farm suppliers or some of the larger garden centers. Be Happy, Barry
Biological control is the beneficial action of predators, parasites, pathogens, and competitors in controlling pests and their damage.
In biological pest control the pests are killed with a living organism whilst in chemical cultural pest control a chemical is used.
I think biological Pest control.
There are basically three types of biological pest control i.e. Importation, Augmentation, and Conservation. All these home pest control methods are pretty useful in various pest control activities like rat extermination, cockroach pest control, mice control, fleas control etc. You can easily implement these methods one by one.
For biological control pest identification helps in preventing the excessive growth of unwanted plants and their by protecting the human life from serious out coming hazards.

False. Organic farmers and gardeners have been doing just that for years.

The chemicals used for pest control has their advantages as well as disadvantages too. Good pest control companies usually use the chemicals that are less dangerous to human health. Poisonous chemicals can even kill non-pest organisms and influence the help of your family and pets too. they can cause bioaccumulation and biological magnification.
I can answer this easily with a resounding NO!!!! I had an aunt that invested in this type of pest control for fleas and mice and it simply did not work.
biological pest control is when a new organism is introduced into a new community and causes a problem so a new foreign organism is introduced. This has been integrated into management because they help to increase crop growth and production as well as it helps solve problems
The promotion of declining populations and of fatal disability and disease is the role of micro-organisms in the biological control of pests. Micro-organisms can include such entities of household recognition as bacteria and fungi. They may introduce disabling and terminal viruses into pest-minded arthropods, birds, mammals and reptiles.
