Judging by stories I have read about other biological controls, if conditions are right for the parasite or the predator to persist in your garden, it will. If not, it won't. Eg, we have very little trouble here in Tenn with tomato hornworms. Sometimes one escapes the parasite and does a lot of damage before I have to find it and feed it to a chicken. But after the 1985 winter with a low of -25F, we did have problems with tomato hornworms. The wasps were apparently wiped out, and didn't come back for several years. Donna Z6
