A native species is a species that is normally found in a particular region. An invasive species is a species that was recently introduced or invaded a particular region where it now competes and often overpowers the natives!

∙ 13y agoA pest is simply a species of animal that eats crops, causes property damage, spreads disease, or is otherwise bothersome to humans. Therefor, many native animals are "pests." These include mosquitos, rats and mice (although in some areas, they are not native), caterpillars that cause crop damage, etc.

What is an invasion species?
Invasive species is a phrase with several definitions. The first definition expresses the phrase in terms of non-indigenous species (e.g. plants or animals) that adversely affect the habitats they invade economically, environmentally or ecologically. It has been used in this sense by government organizations[1][2] as well as conservation groups such as the IUCN.[3] The second definition broadens the boundaries to include both native and non-native species that heavily colonize a particular habitat.[3] The third definition is an expansion of the first and defines an invasive species as a widespread non-indigenous species.[3] This last definition is arguably too broad as not all non-indigenous species necessarily have an adverse effect on their adopted environment. An example of this broader use would include the claim that the common goldfish (Carassius auratus) is invasive. True, it is common outside of its range globally but it almost never appears in harmful densities.[3]An invasive species is defined legally in the USA as â??An alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human healthâ?¦â??Alien speciesâ?? means, with respect to a particular ecosystem, any speciesâ?¦that is not native to that ecosystem."

What are species that don't belong in a particular area?
A species that "belongs" in a particular area, as you put it, is called a native species. I am sure that animals who find themselves in a non-natural habitat are called a non-native species, an invasive species, or introduced species. The introduction of some species into new environments can have devastating results - this is because the invasive species can eradicate necessary native species that are necessary to support a healthy ecosystem.
How can non-native species affect the survival of native species?
they have effect on it by eating and killing all the native species
