A Constant Introduction of Additional Food Does Not Yield Pest Eradication in Finite Time [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Biological control, the use of predators and pathogens to control target pests, is a promising alternative to chemical control. It is hypothesized that the introduced predators efficacy can be boosted by providing them with an additional food source.

Biological Control of Insect Pests in Bermuda
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1959 Projects undertaken on the biological control of insect pests in Bermuda since the first introduction of Bufo marinus in 1875 and including those still in progress are discussed. Work on 15 pests or groups of pests has been undertaken involving the introduction of over one hundred species of beneficial organisms.Icerya purchasi Mask.

Biological Control of Agricultural Pests
The American Biology Teacher, 1955 The use of natural enemies to suppress agoricultural pests is called biological control. Its practical value was first demonstrated in California in 1889 in a very spectacular fashion. The citrus industry was then threatened with ruin from the ravages of the destructive cottony cushion scale. This insect was killing the trees and forcing the growers to
