1. A pest is an insect or other small animal that harms or destroys garden plants, trees, etc. A pesticide is a chemical used to prevent, destroy, or repel pests. A chemical pesticide was made to kill the pest and a biological pesticide kills the pest natuarlly. 2. A pro of a pesticide is they get rid of pests easily by using a chemical to kill them. Most pesticides are easy to get and are at most gardening stores. There many pesticides that easily kill the pest that are bothering you or other things. Say you are in your house and you see a mouse. You go to the store and get mouse poisoning(a pesticide) so you can kill the mice(pest) in your house. Another example would be that if you had a bunch of ants in your house you can go get some pesticides to kill off the ants. Pesticides are bad because they are very poisonous and if children get ahold of them it could hurt them very bad and it is harmful to you also. Some times pests become immune to the pesticide and when you spray them it doesn't help. If you don't know how to use your pesticide you can screw up and something bad could occur. Say you are sitting in your living room and your baby gets ahold of a pesticide and drinks it, a reaction could be very soon or it could be a couple of hours and she could die or become very sick. Another example would be that you put dandelion killer in your yard but you spray it wrong and it kills all your grass. 3. First if you wanna get rid of pests you could kill them yourself, but if you can't, get pesticides. If your to busy at work or other activities, hire someone to killthe pests without using harmful products. Many people hire professionals to do all there pesticide work because they don't want to screw it up and harm themselves or others.
