Insects and Spiders

• Flies
• Mites
  Simply put, biological control (biocontrol) is using the natural enemies of the pests against them. These natural enemies can be animals such as insects or mites, or much smaller organisms like fungi or bacteria. With biocontrol, you are tipping the balance of the predator/prey interaction, so that the prey (in this case the pests) are eliminated entirely, or at least reduced to below economic thresholds. Keep in mind that in most cases, biocontrol works best when pest levels are still low. Prevention is the key. This isn’t to say that an active pest infestation cannot be controlled using biocontrol, but it can be more challenging.
