Yes.
Pesticides and rodenticides save millions of lives by controlling vectors of diseases/infections like malaria, plagues, yellow fever, dengue fever, typhus, staph, hantavirus, leptospirosis, tularemia, hemorrhagic fever(s), Lassa fever, Rocky Mountain fever, Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and so many more. I'm just tired of listing them.
Pesticides are also, important to low income Demographics around the world because they protect crop yields and keep fresh fruits and vegetables in markets. Produce that under organic conditions, would have higher percentages of damaged crops and/or disfigured crops (no one will buy the wonky looking tomato). Basic supply and demand.
Another thing to consider is that fruits and vegetables are proven cancer fighting foods and providing lower cost produce to the market has not only improved quality of life around the world but we'll never know how many lives it saved from cancer!
Many people have a very limited understanding of pesticides and consider them "poison", with which any contact with is dangerous. In reality, our body systems are quite different than that of a rodent or insect.
The word toxic is used by many and understood by few. A short journey into toxicology will reveal that everything made of chemicals and everything is toxic. It's the dose and method of exposure that make a difference.
Pesticides, like anything, are dangerous in the hands of the ignorant and inexperienced and should be left to professionals (some of which may also be ignorant).
