Plan to Control Japanese Knotweed

In an era when people are trying to eliminate introduced species (e.g culling of grey squirrels) the British authorities have given the go-ahead to introduce a Japanese insect to help eliminate/control Japanese Knotweed! I'm sure the researchers have done a thorough job, but I wonder how long it will be before we have to introduce something along the lines of, say the Cane Toad, to reduce the population of these new insects! I'm reminded of the song that starts, "There was on old woman who swallowed a fly" - where will it end?
