Ligustrum sinense
Privet shrubs reach a height of 4'-15' with a spread of 4'-8'. They bear white flowers in late spring-early summer; berries succeed the flowers. But privet shrubs are grown primarily for the dense foliage they can provide when pruned into hedges.
Privet hedges prefer partial shade to full sun. Grow privet hedges in a soil that is slightly wet. Privet hedges tolerate a wide pH range.

All wild areas are wiped out here, nothing is natural all man made so if it spread it would just be chopped down or dug up in someone else yard rather quickly.
Yes, it does provide benefit to insects. But, it can really compete with native plants.
Added a photo of the berries.
