-Biocides are usually intended to control a specific pest or class of pests (more broadly - they are used to control a ecosystem interaction or class of interactions) yet they usually have unintended consequences by killing populations outside the targeted species, outside the targeted area and outside the targeted timeframe. Sometimes these unintended consequences are acute and immediately devastating, sometimes they are [[sub-acute]] and go relatively unnoticed.
