How pesticides work

Some gardeners hope to get rid of pests by using chemical poisons. That seems to work at first glance. All are gone, brilliant.
But 0.01 per cent rest is unvisibly resistant, and now spreads easily. This happens slowly but steadily. After a while, you end up with an infestation of resistant pests.
The process repeats itself with the next pesticide.
In the end, you are completely at the mercy of fully resistant pests.
