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 cause deformities in frogs?

Pesticides can cause deformities in frogs by disrupting their hormone systems, particularly those involved in growth and development. Exposure to certain pesticides can interfere with the proper functioning of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for amphibian metamorphosis. This disruption can lead to deformities in the limbs, eyes, and other parts of the frog's body.
