What does the injured mercutio mean when he says several times a plague on both your houses!?
Mercutio's words "a plague on both your houses" express his frustration and anger at the ongoing feud between the Capulets and Montagues, which has ultimately led to his injury. He is cursing both families for their part in causing the violence that has cost him his life.
In romeo and Juliet what does mercutio mean when he says a plague to their houses?
It means that Mercutio is cursing both of the houses (Montague and Capulet), and basically blaming both of them for his untimely death in A3S1. Romeo feels that he is to blame, and this is probably why he kills Tybalt.
What relation does plague and pester have?

What does Mercutio mean when he says help me into some house benvolio or i shall faint a plague o' both your houses they have made worm's meat of me?
If you speak English, you know what "Help me into some house, Benvolio, or I shall faint" means. If you can't understand that, you neither understand your question or my answer. Worms eat corpses. If you know that, you can figure out what "worms' meat" is. The contraction o' is actually the word "on" without the n. So he is saying "A plague on both your houses." Plague was a serious epidemic disease that killed a lot of people; wishing "a plague on" someone is cursing them with a terrible death. It sounds like he is cursing their dwellings but he is in fact cursing their families--"house" also means family, like Queen Elizabeth's family is called the "House of Windsor". So he means "I curse both your families" and if you have got to Act 3 Scene 1 of this play I'm sure you can guess what he means by "both your houses (families)".
