  Seems a bit unnecessary when you could just dress the ivy up like schoolkids and the yanks would wipe it out in a week

  (Yes, we’re going to keep making these jokes until yous apathetic cunts DO SOMETHING)

  Some, like the ivy aphid are already in North America, but I’m not sure how much of a dent it actually makes. There’s great precedent for successful introduction of biocontrol agents for other invasive species. There’s also great precedent for catastrophic failures, so it’s definitely something that needs to be very carefully explored and not to be done haphazardly.
