Pesticides are poisons: they kill the particular pest that they are intended to kill, but then they seep into the soil or into water systems, where they can kill other needed insects, can be ingested by fish or other aquatic life, and from there be ingested by birds or larger animals. A buildup of residual pesticides in a given area can do tremendous damage to the entire ecosystem.
