Why do humans use pesticides?
Humans use pesticides to get rid of plants and insects that they don’t want around. For instance, they’re used to control certain pests that spread disease like mosquitoes, pests that destroy structures like termites, as well as to preserve farm crops. However, you can help reduce the amount of pesticides used by picking weeds by hand, encouraging your parents not to spray your lawn and by trying to eat organic fruits and vegetables.
