funny you should mention that

The bit about the cane toads in Australia was interesting, a few were brought in to eat the beetles that were ravaging the sugar cane crop. After a few years they checked to see if they were succeeding and whether they represented a threat to the indiginous wildlife. The results were positive so a load more cane toads were imported.

Then when it was too late, they realised that the toads were not actually much good at scoffing the beetles, but they were particularly good at scoffing native ozzie species.

If the flies get out of hand we could always import millions of something that eats them, perhaps redback spiders or army ants.

Apparently there are termites in Devon.

Didn't we import some echidna to get rid of them?
