The impact upon toads from killing off all of an ecosystem's aphids by pesticide sprays cannot be determined without knowing about the status of other food sources. Pesticide sprays may be broad spectrum or target specific, residually brief or long-lasting and therefore will or will not impact alternative food sources. Adult toads survive as long as ants, beetles, caddisflies, caterpillars, centipedes, earthworms, field crickets, fireflies, fish, flies, isopods, mantids, millipedes, slugs, snails, snakes and Spiders abound while tadpoles survive as long as algae, insect larvae, phytoplankton and zooplankton are available.
Evidence that a pesticide has killed aphids can include a significant reduction in aphid populations observed through counts before and after pesticide application. Additionally, symptoms of aphid mortality, such as the presence of dead aphids or their absence from treated plants, can be documented. Laboratory tests showing the pesticide's efficacy against aphids, along with field trials demonstrating improved plant health and yield, also support the conclusion that the pesticide was effective in controlling aphid populations.
She Exposed the health effects of a pesticide that killed bugs or DDT. This pesticide was later connected to breast cancer in women that had come in contact with the pesticide.
also known as ladybugs, they eat aphids. plants don't die then because they aren't being killed by aphids
Most were gased using a pesticide called Zyklon B then they were creamated.
If all the slugs were killed with pesticide, it could disrupt the local ecosystem. Slugs play a role in decomposition and nutrient cycling, so their absence could impact soil health and plant growth. Additionally, slugs are a food source for many animals, so their elimination could disrupt the food chain and lead to imbalances in the ecosystem.
they were killed by octavian
It was killed.
The pesticide that the builders used to keep away mosquitoes got into the drinking water and they all got sick.
you are going to be killed too...
They would be killed by other means
If all insects were killed by pesticide use, lizards and hawks would face a significant food shortage, as their diets heavily rely on these insects. The decline in available food would likely lead to decreased lizard and hawk populations due to starvation and reduced reproduction rates. As these predator populations decrease, the ecosystem could become imbalanced, potentially allowing other prey populations to grow unchecked, which may further disrupt the ecological dynamics. Over time, the absence of these species could lead to a collapse of the local food web and biodiversity loss.
