Invasive species on the grasslands has become an increasing threat across several decades but can be successfully reduced by utilizing integrated pest management options. One option is the selection and use of biocontrol agents. Leafy spurge is a common weedy invasive species, an ignored infestation can eventually overtake large areas for it spreads rapidly. Here we are releasing spurge beetles that were previously collected at a host site. Spurge beetles will damage the root systems of leafy spurge and across time will reduce the infestation, though rarely eradicates the species entirely.
