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.

What do Biological pest control involves?
Biological pest control involves using living organisms, such as predators, parasites, or pathogens, to control pest populations in an environmentally friendly way. These natural enemies help to manage pest populations by either killing the pests directly or interfering with their reproductive cycle. Biological control can be a sustainable and effective alternative to chemical pesticides.
How is biogical control and how can you use it for pest?
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.
What are biological control of pests?
Biological control of pests involves using natural enemies such as predators, parasites, or pathogens to manage pest populations. This method is a sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to pest management that can help reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Biological control can help maintain ecological balance and is often used in integrated pest management programs.
What is the difference between chemical and biological pest control?
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.
