Biological control, or biocontrol, offers a powerful tool in the management of invasive species and can be used to great effect as part of an Integrated Pest Management System. It is defined as the reduction of pest populations by natural enemies and typically involves an active human role.
The modern biocontrol approval process involves multiple rounds of testing and regulation at both the state and federal level to ensure the highest level of efficacy and safety.
