These are not simple questions to be answered in a few sentences but I can get you started in some directions to read up on some of this.
Integrated pest management uses animals to control pests as one means. Pesticide means anything mechanical or chemical that removes an animal or plant competing with us for our food or flowers. Pesticides include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, nematocides (used to kill nematodes), and rodenticides. However these all can cause rebound, kill beneficial insects, breed for resistance or harm humans sometimes. Since all creatures have natural enemies it makes sense to use them to control specific pests where results warrant.

These include Asian lady beetles, lace wings, brown smudge bugs, striped ladybird beetles, transverse ladybird beetles, minute 2-spotted ladybird beetles,
white collard ladybird beetles, red and blue beetles, brown lacewings, and a variety of spiders. Braconid wasps, nematodes, and soldier beetles consume pests like the cucumber beetle. Snakes, ducks, and frogs will eat slugs. Cut worm & mosquito controls include the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis known as Bt. Birds that eat insects are worth attracting. mmmals like bats and hedgehogs are good in the garden also. General beneficial garden organisms

A mammal walked into the sea and, as a replace of drowning,—persevered to stay for something of its life because it swam around in the sea! it extremely is easily a fish tale! progressively it and its offspring made modifications so as that they might get approximately much less complicated in the sea. yet how did they survive till those modifications have been made? Your reproduction and paste reads like a 'in order that' tale... yet its for adults to have faith in.
