Why are insect that enter a region from a foreign region more difficult to control?
Their natural predators that prey on the insect and therefor help control the population may not exist in the new region, allowing the population to grow unchecked (except by availability of food). The same applies for plants and other types of animals, such as zebra mussels. These species often compete with the native species for food and space, causing the native species to dwindle in population. One method of controlling the invading species is to introduce the predators that naturally prey on the invading species into the environment. However, care must be taken so that we're not just compounding the problem by introducing another species that may grow unchecked and compete with the native species.
Difference between native and non native species?
The difference between native and non-native species is that native species are from that area and non-native species are not from that area.
What is the genus and species of a living organism?

Are non-native species and invasive species synonyms?
I don't think they would be synonymous. Nonnative species can live in a habitat without causing any adverse effects on that habitat, the nonnative species can become invasive if it causes any negative effects on the habitat. An example of a nonnative invasive species would be the python in the Florida swamp land. These hardy snakes are wreaking havoc by eating fish, birds, even alligator eggs and babies! The two words are often used interchangeably because it is often hard to find nonnative species that do not harm the environment they are introduced to, but it is possible and seen in some fish and bird introductions.
