Pesticides kill insects and therefore reduce the insect population numbers. However they also damage the environment and upset the balance of nature when used indiscriminately. Also remember that these products are poisons and may also harm people.

How can pesticides herbicides or antibiotics affect the genetic composition of populations?
It affects the genetic compostion of populations by eating gummy worms
Are there any antibiotics used in pesticides?
what happens when pesticides and antibiotics are used and how does it related to evolution
What happens if people die from pesticides?

What are the trade-offs of trying to control an introduced species?

How could farming practices be causing a decline in bee numbers?
It's the pesticides that are used that are "killing off" or decreasing bee populations. Global warming/climate change may also have something to do with it, but the biggest factor is the use of pesticides.

What are the advantages of organic pesticides?
Animal and plant health and environmental well-being are the advantages of organic pesticides. Organic pesticides other than the organophosphates mimic nature in their lower application rates, concentrations and dispersals. They result in minimal harm to life, stay minimally in the environment and treat target, not non-target, populations.
Why would people use a density-independent limiting factor to control populations of introduced species?
