Pesticides just generally kill, that is what they do, indiscriminately.
Absolutely false. They do not kill indiscriminately. Certain insecticides and larvicides kill certain species of insects and larvae. Applicators must scout fields carefully to determine what species of harmful insects are causing crop damage, and then determine if their numbers have reached an economic threshold, before deciding upon which product will best kill the target pests without reducing the numbers of the beneficial insects.
Your statement is perfect example of letting a lack of knowledge, and understanding, make you look foolish. But, you're in good company. There's no shortage of ignorance concerning pesticides.

Truth is no one knows the impact of pesticides...especially some field jOckey
True that ...........and no one knows the impact of killing five turkeys a day on the local population, especially some so called turkey call maker.
But, they're both within the law .....................aren't they?

You can "so call" me anything you want Stan...
I was referring to King Brown the licensed pesticide field jockey...sorry you thought the shoe fit you.
Hard to deny that some very bad pesticides were within the law for years and years.
And its also hard for quail to compete against the easy way out for the 'so called' modern farmer.
No till...poison the weeds then plant with mostly genetically modified seed then poison some more and more and more...then harvest.
In my opinion the modern farmer has been made lazy by the chemical companies...but what could a "so called" know ?
Convince me the chemical companies give a damn about a quail.
