Answer:

predators of pests

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecosystem service called pest predators is a type of biological control that performs the same function as a pesticide, but naturally and without causing problems to nature.

Organisms called pest predators are animals that throughout their life cycle or partially are free-living organisms that actively seek out and kill their prey. They are usually larger than their prey and need more than one prey to complete their life cycle. Ex: Hornets and Hawks.
