          Well, that *is* the problem. by werehatrack 2009-03-31 17:59:05
AFAIK, there isn't one short of something as venomous as a krait.

And look what the mongoose has done in Hawaii, where it was imported to control the rats.

The only instance I've seen of one exotic bioagent being successfully employed to control another is the introduction of a prickly-pear-specific insect to Hawaii to control *that* plant pest. They have been unable to find one that will work against either Brazilian pepper or melaleuca despite a century of searching. (If they find one, South Florida will want to test it as well.)

BTW, the cane toad (under another name) is also an exotic pest in S Fla, where it has pretty much wiped out the native species. They're notorious for growing to the size of a dinner plate by finding a careless pet owner that feeds a dog or cat outdoors without standing watch over the bowl.
