The natural habitat has been altered using chemicals, farming methods, or terraforming to a degree that the current ecosystem can not sustain itself without human intervention

I think artificial is the proper therm here. Not in a sense that they're gene modified or robot bugs, but in a sense that their dominance of the habitat is due to human interference.
