"Synthetic chemical pesticides used to control pests are often acutely toxic. Some are suspected carcinogens and their use have other harmful effects on the environment, humans, animals, and beneficial insects such as pollinators. Many of these chemical pesticides have not actually proven effective against the invasive species we are targeting or are too harmful to be applied to these sensitive environments.  Instead, we discover, develop, and deploy biological solutions from microorganisms and other natural sources such as plant extracts."
