For consecutive seasons, farmers have exceeded their pesticide use. How will this affect the community of animals that share their ecosystem? Answer Pesticides will not harm any of the animals that live in the area. Any animal susceptible to pesticides will die or suffer altered reproductive cycles. Most animals will immigrate to avoid pesticide exposure. Any animal exposed to the pesticide will die in the area surrounding the farms.
