Hello there,
Biological pest control targets a narrow range of pests, sometimes even a single species. Other, beneficial insects, birds, reptiles and animals living in the area remain unharmed. Pesticides may kill everything in their path, and effect species outside the targeted pest, such as happened when DDT used to kill mosquitoes and other pests threatened to wipe out birds such as the peregrine falcon.
Thanks
