We shouldn't be using pestisides; and the number one reason the effect of pestisides on humans when we eat the produce that pestisides have been used on. In addition, the companies that sell the pestisides are getting a hefty profit while farmers have to pay for more and more pestisdes. Also the pestisides manage to kill the pest but there is always some pest that are able to survive the pestisides. The surviving pest are now not only immune to the pestisides but are also stronger. So when these pest reproduce the brand of pestisides no longer work on the pest so farmers have to buy more pestisides and therefore making the plant even more dangerous for the consumers. An easier and inexpensive way is to get rid of the pest naturally by buying other bugs that eat the pest and not the plants like ladybugs.
