How to use pest in a sentence?

This is an enormous new tool for researchers interested in controlling this pest, bed bugs are now very widespread in most major cities around the world, and they have increasingly become resistant to insecticides, making them harder to control.

Groundhogs love eating fresh soybeans coming out of the ground.
This research is opening new doors for the future of farming with pest control methods that are non-toxic and pesticide-free.
